Clinical research thrives on diversity, yet new immigrant communities remain underrepresented in many studies. This underrepresentation can lead to gaps in understanding how treatments affect different populations, potentially resulting in less effective healthcare for these groups. Discussing the key reasons behind this underrepresentation and highlighting the benefits of diverse participation in clinical trials can help bridge this gap.

Join us on Wednesday, October 30, from 12 – 1 p.m. ET as Munaza Jamil, a certified Clinical Research Professional and expert instructor in the Applied Clinical Research program, and Kathleen Geelen, Program Manager at McMaster Continuing Education, host an engaging discussion on the critical importance of engaging new immigrant communities in clinical trials.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the barriers faced by new immigrants, including socioeconomic factors, cultural values, and language barriers, and learn effective strategies to overcome these challenges.

Key topics:

-Understanding the impact of diverse representation on research outcomes
Identifying and addressing barriers to participation for new immigrants
-Practical steps for making clinical trial information accessible and culturally sensitive

Don’t miss this chance to explore ways to foster inclusive clinical trials that reflect the rich cultural tapestry of the Canadian landscape.
