Welcome to "The Bridge," the official podcast for the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy PATIENTS Program hosted by Rodney Elliott. The PATIENTS Program is the bridge between the community and researchers. The PATIENTS Program created this partnership to help researchers listen to the community’s voice to build a bridge to an effective learning health care community.
