Equity in Heart Rhythm Research – Studying Representative Populations and Training Representative Investigators
Description
As heart rhythm advances become increasingly specialized, complex, and often costly, disparity in research of therapeutics may develop among the patient populations who need them. This session seeks to explore the opportunities and challenges in conducting equitable research in heart rhythm diseases, recruiting representative populations including women, training diverse study investigators, and promoting global heart rhythm care among vulnerable populations.
Learning Objectives
  • To identify opportunities and challenges in conducting equitable research in heart rhythm diseases.
  • To explore strategies for training diverse study investigators.
  • To leverage international collaboration in diversifying research opportunities.
