Alan gives an update on CAG, which offers unfiltered, critical input and feedback from participating clinicians and non-physician providers on ideas, projects, diseases, and unmet needs. Is he happy with where things are and where he wanted them to go? It’s still too new and early to know.

Quotes:

“These are folks who are able to critically analyze and communicate effectively.”

“We tried to capture a broad diversity of clinical settings, and patient populations, and clinical problems.”

“That’s probably the most important part of the CAG group is determining where to spend time and resources because those are finite.”
