Patient-Centric Clinical Trials

In the final episode of Season 1, Brendan is joined by Dr. Salvatore Alesci of the National Minority Quality Forum and Karla, a clinical trial participant, for a meaningful conversation on the critical need for diversity among clinical trial participants to ensure treatments are as effective as possible for all patients.


The National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) is the largest minority healthcare research, education and advocacy organization in the United States. Its mission is to reduce patient risk of hospitalizations, emergency room visits, disabilities and death, while also improving high-quality, long lives – particularly for the most vulnerable.
