2023 Cohort
After their year of intensive learning through the Patient Expert Training, the patient advocates below have gained a comprehensive understanding of the medicines development process and the important role of patients throughout. They are equipped with knowledge that will take their patient advocacy work to the next level. We would like to congratulate the 2023 cohort on this achievement!
