However\, recent policy changes under the Trump administration\, including the removal of FDA guidance on clinical trial diversity\, have raised concerns about the future of inclusive research. \n\n\n\nRead more about decentralizing clinical trials here. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, Ray Dorsey\, M.D.\, professor of neurology and the director of the Center for Human Experimental Therapeutics at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York\, and Ramita Tandon\, Chief Clinical Trials Officer at Walgreens\, will discuss how decentralization is reshaping clinical research. They will explore the potential of pharmacy-based trials and strategies for increasing patient engagement. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an insightful conversation on the future of clinical trials and what it means for patients\, researchers\, and the healthcare industry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nJyoti Madhusoodanan\n\n\n\nAHCJ Civic Science FellowJyoti Madhusoodanan is AHCJ’s Civic Science Fellow\, covering race in health algorithms as part of a year-long fellowship funded by the Doris Duke Foundation.

Madhusoodanan is a senior contributor to Undark magazine and her work regularly appears in Nature\, Scientific American\, and other outlets. She also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Association of Science Writers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nLara Salahi\n\n\n\nAHCJ Health Equity Beat LeaderLara Salahi is AHCJ’s health beat leader on health equity. She’s an award-winning\, independent health journalist based in Boston\, whose work has appeared in local\, national and international television and digital news outlets. She is also the Distinguished Professor of Journalism at Endicott College in Beverley\, Mass. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRay Dorsey\, M.D.\n\n\n\nProfessor of Neurology\, University of RochesterRay Dorsey\, M.D.\, is the David M. Levy Professor of Neurology at the University of Rochester and one of the world’s most read\, cited\, and followed neurologists. With his colleagues\, he wrote “Ending Parkinson’s Disease: A Prescription for Action\,” a book that provides a prescription for preventing and ending the world’s fastest growing brain disease. \n\n\n\nDorsey previously directed the University of Rochester’s Center for Health + Technology\, was elected chair of the international Huntington Study Group\, led the movement disorders division and neurology telemedicine at Johns Hopkins\, and consulted for McKinsey & Company. He completed his undergraduate degree at Stanford University and pursued his medical education and neurology training at the University of Pennsylvania where he also earned an MBA in healthcare management from the Wharton School. \n\n\n\nIn 2015\, the White House recognized Dorsey as a “Champion for Change” for Parkinson’s disease. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRamita Tandon\n\n\n\nChief BioPharma Services Officer\, WalgreensAs Chief BioPharma Services Officer at Walgreens\, Ramita Tandon is responsible for leading and driving growth for the Company’s biopharma services\, which includes Walgreens Clinical Trials. In her role\, Ramita works across the healthcare and life sciences industries to enable next-generation clinical trials\, with the goal of making treatments equitable and accessible to patients. \n\n\n\nRamita brings more than 25 years of leadership and operational experience across a portfolio of industry-leading businesses in real-world evidence and patient-centered health outcomes. Since spearheading the launch of Walgreens Clinical Trials in June 2022\, Ramita and her team have been working to make clinical research an inherent care option for patients across the nation when the standard of therapy is not a viable option. \n\n\n\nThrough its tailored efforts and collaboration with biopharma companies\, Ramita and her team have connected with more than 17 million people for potential recruitment into a sponsor-led clinical trial\, with that number growing daily. Research shows that only 5% of the U.S. population participates in clinical trials and nearly 80% of trials fail to meet their enrollment goals in the timeline presented\, which often contributes to delays in getting novel therapies to patients. \n\n\n\nUltimately\, Ramita and her team’s main goal is to bring community pharmacy-led clinical trials to patients quicker by meeting them where they want to be met…in their own communities.

When policymakers turn their attention to science and health issues such as vaccination\, access to abortion care\, and the health dangers of climate change\, journalists covering these topics must be prepared to protect themselves amidst online communities that can mirror — or amplify — harmful rhetoric. \n\n\n\nJoin AHCJ and the National Association of Science Writers (NASW) for a webinar with Alison Joyce\, a senior analyst on the Information Security team at The New York Times\, and Tat Bellamy-Walker\, program manager of Digital Safety Training and Resources (Media) at PEN America as they share best practices and resources on digital safety for journalists. \n\n\n\nAttendees will learn how to gauge their own risks\, assess their habits and leave with a list of resources they can deploy to improve their digital safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nJyoti Madhusoodanan\n\n\n\nCivic Science Fellow\, AHCJJyoti Madhusoodanan is AHCJ’s Civic Science Fellow\, covering race in health algorithms as part of a year-long fellowship funded by the Doris Duke Foundation.

According to one estimate\, the U.S. could save $67 billion a year if everyone saw a primary care provider as their main source of care. And yet\, only 5% of health care spending in this country goes to primary care\, less than in any other Western democracy. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will examine what actions states — which regulate the insurance industry and run the Medicaid programs — have taken to increase spending on primary care and what effect these efforts can have on costs. \n\n\n\nAHCJ Board President Felice Freyer\, an independent journalist\, will lead the discussion with three national experts on the topic. \n\n\n\nRelated webinars\n\n\n\n\nHow rising health care prices are harming employers and families\n\n\n\nHospital mergers and health care price increases: A primer for reporters\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar series\, supported by the Peterson-Milbank Program on Sustainable Health Care Costs\, covers the affordability of health care by diving into health care cost drivers and looking at solutions. Journalists will learn about ways that states\, employers and other stakeholders can promote affordable health care and will be able to tell these stories in the context of their state and local communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nFelice J.
