During the month of June, eCongress is hosting Optimizing Patient Participation in Clinical Trials, a series of six webinars focused on attracting, engaging, and retaining clinical trial participants. This series is an excellent opportunity to learn from industry experts on important patient-related topics in a convenient format.
And it’s all free!
The eCongress series is bookended by two great keynotes. The first is on June 2 with Ken Getz, who will explore how patient centricity can reinvent drug development. The final is on June 25 with a panel of experts, who will explore the challenges and opportunities of patient participation going forward.
For your convenience, I’m including the full schedule below. Follow the link on each webinar title to view a full description of that webinar. Learn more about the eCongress webinar series and register here.
