What is Patient Engagement?<\/h2><\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

There are varying levels of patient engagement within research, one of the most well known being participation in a research study. For instance, you or someone you know may be participating in a clinical trial to help advance treatment, diagnosis, or other aspects of care for a medical condition.<\/p>\n

But did you know there are other ways for the public to be involved in research?<\/p>\n

Patient engagement<\/strong> in research goes beyond study or clinical trial participation and involves active partnership between researchers and patients. The patient (also called a patient partner) works as part of the research team and provides input on various aspects of a study.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/br>
