Similar to CROs, many patient advocacy organizations (PAOs) provide services to advance therapeutic R&D programs in alignment with their missions. Case studies of successful PAO engagements and best practices for these partnerships will be discussed. Join the DIA Patient Engagement Community for a follow up round table discussion (session #355 RT) on Wednesday, June 22, 3:00pm - 4:00pm.

Learning Objectives

Identify patient advocacy organizations (PAOs) with high-quality resources and expertise to contribute to the success of your therapeutic development program; Compare the process of working with PAOs to working with traditional CROs and academic partners; Create efficiencies in your pipeline by building positive relationships with PAOs early and throughout the development of your programs.
