Decentrally Speaking | Episode 1: Optimizing Trial Inclusivity For Patients From Under-Represented Communities

 Our Decentrally Speaking series engages with subject matter experts and thought leaders on expanding clinical access for patients through the use of decentralized trials (DCTs). Join us as we also explore opportunities to operationalize DCTs across our industry.  

In this first series episode, we will be discussing operational experiences and best practices in optimizing inclusivity for patients from Under-Represented Communities (UCs). We’ll share ideas for trial recruiting, protocol review, patient and community outreach, and on-site implementation for inclusive practices from experts:
