Partnerships to Advance Therapeutics (PATHs) | Government Day
Government Day
Each year on Government Day, CERTs researchers have an opportunity to discuss research projects and opportunities for collaboration with individuals from government agencies. The theme for the CERTs 4th Annual Government Day was Communication Strategies To Inform Consumers, Providers, and Other Decisionmakers.
At this year's Government Day, individuals presented and discussed various government and CERTs initiatives to identify potential collaborative opportunities for CERTs and Federal organizations related to communicating medical information. Several opportunities to work together to support national priorities were presented. Projects related to communicating therapeutics benefit and safety information were highlighted. Important questions addressed in the presentations were how to communicate research findings and products and how to adapt and implement them to make a difference.
Specific projects pertaining to the use and evaluation of national education strategies were also presented. Potential collaborations discussed for research and education ranged from the use of communication strategies targeted to patients, parents, and providers over the Internet to one designed to promote appropriate antibiotic use in children.
