What is on the Menu at a Virtual Coffee Event?
Sometimes it is chatter, sometimes brainstorming, and even educational content about how we approach our work for the patients we serve. Let's bring our shared experiences as clinical researchers and better relate to one another. Maybe learn something and definitely make some new friends! How can we help each other?
