Really glad to witness the successful regional Ambassador Symposiums for Asia, LATAM and Africa regions organized by Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) in last few weeks. The engaging discussions and the turnout in each region (with approx.. 400 combined participants) are true testaments on how timely & crucial these regional symposiums were. Congratulations to Michael Pierre, Dan Milam, EMBA and entire #SCRS team for all their efforts in making these happen. Cognizant had the honour to partner with SCRS in these Ambassador programs which enabled a platform for sites, investigators and local pharma / CRO representatives from these regions to come together and share their respective thoughts & PoVs. I had the privilege to speak at the plenary session on “Clinical Trials in Asia – Opportunities & Challenges” in the Asia symposium, as well as, to facilitate the breakout session on “Clinical Trials in Africa - Opportunities & Challenges” in the Africa symposium. Valuable insights came out around how the respective region is shaping up their clinical research ecosystem, what the current needs and challenges are, thought-provoking ideas on how to break certain “perceptions” about the region and what eminent KOLs / investigators along with site advocates, like a Technology Medical Affairs team, can do collaboratively to aim for a thriving clinical research environment. Topics on site sustainability, patient outreach via community engagement, adoption to global standardized technology platform and Sponsor/CRO collaboration stood out as highlights of these ambassador programs. Each of these regions hold a lot of promise in eventually making research as a standard of care. Looking forward to breaking glass ceilings!
