Join us for the inaugural Professional Patient Advocates in Life Sciences Conference May 11-13 at the Sanford Center in Sioux Falls, SD. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn the do’s and don’ts of the nation’s Patient Advocacy industry.
The conference allows those who work in the professional advocacy industry to learn how to create a better experience for patients who are navigating through the health care systems.
The conference will offer two tracks:
A PACT program for industry professionals in the health and life science arena.
Cost: $1,000
At the end of the conference, attendees participating in Track I will be required research, design, implement and successfully complete a capstone project. During and after (via phone) the conference, attendees will meet several times with a mentor (a member of the faculty teaching at this workshop), who will help guide, support and assist in the capstone project.
The project is based on a real-life problem or issue related to the participant’s professional work in Patient Advocacy. It must be submitted within three weeks after the completion of the conference.
A PACT program for individual Patient Advocacy who serve in a senior leadership capacity or as a member of the board of directors for a non-profit health Patient Advocacy group.
Cost: $500
