This Summit explores risk and compliance considerations associated with advocacy organizations, patient support and assistance programs, alternative funding, and more. During this Summit, attendees will uncover emerging enforcement trends and risks and collaborate with peers to benchmark leading frameworks in order to establish best practices for compliant patient interactions.
