  • Yan Xu, MD, FRCPC, MSc, University of Ottawa

Moderator:

  • Amye Harrigan, MD, Dalhousie University

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define key terminologies such as race, ethnicity, and ethnoracial diversity and understand their implications for venous thromboembolism (VTE) research and outcomes.
  2. Explore the epidemiological data highlighting disparities in VTE incidence, treatment, and outcomes across different ethnoracial groups and why diversity in clinical trial matters.
  3. Incorporate strategies to enhance the representation of ethnoracial groups in clinical research, including specific recruitment strategies and community partnership frameworks, to ensure equitable participation.

  A 15-minute Q&A will follow the presentation.
