Happy #ClinicalResearchWeek! We joined @ChildrensPhila and our community partners for a seminar and panel discussion highlighting the importance of community engagement in research.
We had an amazing event on May 4, connecting in person with our partners and trainees. A wonderfully diverse group—spanning ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. Lots of positive energy! 🙌 We’re excited to involve them in future research projects.
