About this session
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in hepatology face growing pressure from shifting political, regulatory, and funding environments, despite ongoing disparities. This session outlines a 3-part practical playbook. Presenters begin by reviewing strategic design of clinical trials to improve inclusivity. Next, faculty review best practices in sustainable collaboration with community organizations and patient advocacy partners, despite intensifying funding challenges.
