We are super proud to have presented the story about the Amyloidosis Speakers Bureau at last week’s International Symposium on Amyloidosis (ISA) in Heidelberg, Germany.
Ours was not the typical presentation at such a prestigious global medical conference, but our message “PATIENTS ARE POWERFUL EDUCATORS” was seemingly super well received. Afterwards we heard words such as “transformative” and “brilliant” … opening minds about the impact that patients can bring to raise awareness. Hopefully, there will be good actions to come from this! Meanwhile, we press on to educate U.S. medical students and residents.
