NASHVILLE, Tenn. PCORnet, the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network, recently held the Building Trustworthiness in PCORnet Meeting, in Washington, D.C. The meeting -- attended by Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance Executive Director Consuelo H. Wilkins, MD, MSCI, Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance Community Member Neely Williams, M. Div. and others -- sought to begin a critical dialogue about ethics, trust, and engagement, not just for PCORnet, but clinical research overall.
Presenters catalyzed a broad dialogue about these issues by listening to communities and examining examples from inside and outside of health. The sessions fostered meaningful discussion through provocative, brief presentations, and the participants had the major role.
