Making Clinical Research Make Sense for Kids and Families

Most people don’t learn about clinical research until they need it. I’m working to change that. Through books, hands-on programs, and engaging talks, I help children and families understand how new medicines are discovered, and the real people behind those breakthroughs. Whether in a classroom, a community program, or a healthcare setting, my work is designed to make clinical research more approachable, relevant, and easier to engage with.

Meet Bridget

Hi! I'm Bridget Chapital, also known as The Clinical Trials Lady. I'm a seasoned health education professional with 25 years of experience in the medical research industry. Driven by purpose and a passion for science communication, I partner with hospitals, schools, and community organizations to help children and families understand clinical research.

My work empowers people to make informed healthcare decisions and introduces young learners to meaningful career paths that shape the future of medicine.

My first children's book, A Kids' Guide to Clinical Research, was released in Fall 2025.

Bridget presents complex topics in a very articulate and thoughtful manner, drawing from real-life experience and examples to better help the audience understand the clinical research process. As a presenter, she is engaging and makes the content accessible to those who may have felt apprehensive about clinical research or overwhelmed by the process. One aspect of her presentation style that I enjoyed was when she pulled in examples to help explain different types of research studies and the different phases of a clinical trial.
