NEW YORK, June 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Conference Forum is pleased to announce the launch of CRAACO: Clinical Research as a Care Option newsletter, the first publication solely dedicated to the work being done in uniting the worlds of clinical research and clinical care, for the benefit of patients and medicines development. The newsletter captures a wide range of perspectives on the challenges, opportunities, history and future of bridging the gap and breaking out of silos. The newsletter highlights voices from patient advocacy, healthcare systems, academia, pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry and clinical research organizations.

"The conversations and actions connecting clinical research and clinical care are more important now than ever, which is why we are so pleased to announce the launch of a newsletter dedicated to highlighting voices making change in the space," said Andrew Goldstein, Producer of the corresponding Clinical Research as a Care Option conference.

The inaugural issue features the following topics: a patient's experience in an NCI trial that saved her life; the history of separation between clinical care and clinical research; an integrated research organization's work creating research infrastructures; emerging technology and processes in community hospital research; the role of clinical research as care in breast cancer treatment; a website aimed towards increasing the input of people of color in medicine development; and a university program creating the next generation of clinical research leaders.

"We've been reporting on CRAACO and the advances in integrating clinical care and clinical research through our annual conference and podcasts. So, it makes perfect sense to launch a dedicated newsletter to provide more support for the people leading this movement," said Valerie Bowling, Executive Director, the Conference Forum.
