Feb. 3: Conway Chair Conversation: Bringing Patients, Parents, and Clinicians to the Same Table: Novel Methods to Facilitate Collaborative Co-Design of Clinical Interventions
January 21, 2026
As a member of an academic health care system, have you pondered how patients, caregivers, and clinicians can together create a study that is inviting, feasible, acceptable, and will achieve important scientific aims? Then the February Conway Chair Conversation will be a showstopper for you. Join our lead conversationalist, Dr. Erica Kaye from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and our internal experts serving as discussants (Dr. Amy Wolfe; Peggy Surratt, RN; and Mrs. Darcel Jackson) as they share evidence-based guidance to achieve these very desirable outcomes.
The Children's National Conway Chair Conversations are designed to engage us in lively discussions and demonstrations about developing research ideas and solving the challenges that can confront taking that idea into a research study. This series of research discussions features a different topic each month. Attendees are able to actively shape the ideas and influence their development.
