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.
