Upcoming Conferences

April 26 | New Orleans, LA

Behtash Bahador will be speaking on the panel discussion: Clinical Trial Diversity & Intersectionality: Looking at the Whole Patient on Saturday, April 26th, 3:15 PM – 4:15 PM.

In this session, an expert panel will share actionable insights on expanding the scope of diversity in clinical trials. The webinar will start with a candid look beyond the race and ethnicity focus of the FDA diversity plan guidance to encompass disability and LGBTQIA+ communities, older individuals, non-English speakers and more. Panelists will approach trial diversity best practices from all angles: data collection, regulatory compliance, study design, community outreach, awareness and education, patient & community involvement and insights, and patient recruitment. Participants will understand why clinical trial diversity must be broadened to include all marginalized groups; this knowledge will enable them to create research studies that are truly accessible to all.
