‘The Bridge’ Podcast: ‘Transforming Pharmaceutical R&D’
July 21, 2025Join us on the latest episode of “The Bridge” as we welcome Chris Blanchette, vice president of clinical data science and evidence at Novo Nordisk. Together, we explore how the PATIENTS Program’s Going National Initiative is reshaping the way pharmaceutical companies engage patients in research.
The PATIENTS Going National Initiative is about sharing the PATIENTS Program’s recipe for an evidence-based approach for patient and community engagement beyond Baltimore. We are developing partnerships with new communities to replicate the authentic experience of the 10-Step Framework and co-develop health research to be more patient-centered.
Backed by the incredible support of sponsors like Novo Nordisk, Bayer, and AstraZeneca, the PATIENTS Program is poised to revolutionize patient engagement.
Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation about innovation, inclusion, and impact in the health care landscape!
The Bridge is the official podcast of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy PATIENTS Program. The PATIENTS Program is the bridge between the community and researchers. It created this partnership to help researchers listen to the community’s voice to build a bridge to an effective learning health care community.
