Patient Researcher Forum
The Moffitt Patient Researcher Forum aims to give patients and caregivers an insider view of current research on their specific cancer type and to educate basic researchers about the clinical management of specific cancer types, and importantly, the personal cancer journeys of the patients and caregivers.
During the forum, the patient and caregiver take a tour of the dry and wet labs while researchers attend a clinical course facilitated by a clinician that specializes in the cancer that the patient has. The second component of the Forum is a roundtable discussion where everyone convenes in which researchers share their work and personal cancer connection and the patient and caregiver tell their cancer journey from the date of diagnosis to the present time. If you would like to learn about the many ways to partner with Moffitt, including sharing your story, please email PatientAdvisors@Moffitt.org
