PHILADELPHIA, PA - An exclusive delegation of patient recruitment leaders will convene in Philadelphia on April 16 for the first annual PRO Summit. This unprecedented, invitation-only event will unite select Patient Recruitment Organization (PRO) leaders around core issues impacting the future of their niche within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
Patient recruitment and retention providers D. Anderson & Company (DAC) based in Dallas, Texas, and The Patient Recruiting Agency™ (TPRA) headquartered in Austin, Texas, are hosting the summit, which will be held at The Westin Philadelphia.
Attendees will discuss challenges facing the patient recruitment/retention industry and strategies to respond to those challenges. They also will devise plans for improving relationships with Contract Research Organizations and further professionalizing the PRO field. Other topics for discussion include budgeting, contracting and emerging industry trends.
“One of the goals of the summit is to develop a position paper that summarizes strategies for advancing patient recruitment and retention today,” said DAC President and CEO Diana L. Anderson, Ph.D.
Adding to Dr. Anderson’s assertion, TPRA President Lance Nickens said, “The body of knowledge represented among summit delegates is profound and will feature spirited discussions and productive outcomes.”
