President Andrea Wilson was accepted into the Focus on Research Scholar program, a division of the Research Advocacy Network. The program offers new and seasoned advocates the opportunity to improve their skills and understanding of the research system and scientific concepts. Each selected Scholar participates in preparatory conference calls, virtual classes (webinars), learning materials and mentoring so they can improve their skills and understanding of biomedical research. This preparation culminates with attendance at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. Scholars then report back to their patient constituencies.
