The PATIENTS Program at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy is making a meaningful difference by partnering with communities to advance patient-centered research, improve health outcomes, and ensure that the voices of underserved populations help shape the future of health care.
“The PATIENTS Professors Academy (PPA) invited me to bring my whole self to the table, my story, my questions, my becoming! PPA reminded me that learning is a communal act, that we teach best when we listen, lead best when we remain human, and transform systems by tending to people first. I left more rooted in my calling as a facilitator, educator, and advocate, committed to creating spaces where stories are held with care, knowledge is formed together, and healing and change grow from shared truth.” -Robert Wiseman Jr., California, USA.
Experiences like this, which empower patients, are made possible by dedicated staff who build relationships, engage community partners, support research collaborations, and ensure that patient and community voices remain central to our work.
