It was a privilege to volunteer my time to speak with the incoming class of University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine students about the importance of a collaborative physician/patient relationship. I look forward to this lecture each year. Wonderful to welcome special guest Griffin Hurt as I talked about the value of a strong support system. Two excellent questions from the students: (1) What restored your confidence in your surgeon after your medical accident? (2) What advice would you give us when speaking to patients about clinical trials? Special thanks to Dr. Jason Chang, Dr. Debra Cohen, and Dr. Amanda Brown for the invitation. Congratulations and good luck Class of 2030! ... See MoreSee Less

I’m honored and excited to share that I have joined the Board of Inventus Group as a Non-Executive Advisor.This opportunity is deeply meaningful—not because of the title, but because of what it represents.For years, I have advocated for a simple but powerful belief: patients deserve a seat at the table. The people most impacted by healthcare decisions should have a voice in shaping them.Inventus is building technology and solutions designed to improve the clinical trial experience, and I am inspired by their commitment to putting patients at the center of that work. Together, we share a vision of reducing patient burden, improving accessibility, and making clinical research more inclusive, compassionate, and effective. As both a patient and caregiver, I have experienced firsthand the challenges that patients face when navigating complex healthcare systems. Bringing that lived experience into board-level conversations is not only a privilege—it is a responsibility.To me, this appointment is bigger than one individual. It is a signal that the patient voice belongs in leadership discussions, strategic decisions, and innovation efforts across our industry. I hope it encourages more organizations to actively seek and value patient/caregiver subject matter experts when shaping the future of healthcare.My sincere thanks to Steve Sanghera and the entire Inventus team for their trust and partnership. I look forward to helping advance solutions that make clinical research more patient-centered, accessible, and human.Power to the patients! 🙌 ... See MoreSee Less
