Candrice R. Heath, MD, Assistant Professor of Dermatology and one of two inaugural Faculty Scholars in the Office of Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (OHEDI) at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, participated in a Q&A with the Philadelphia Inquirer about inclusion in clinical trials. Dr. Heath was recently selected to receive a Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials Career Development Award (Winn CDA). She is one of only two dermatologists to be selected as a Winn Scholar. The goal of the Winn CDA is to increase the diversity of patients enrolled in clinical trials, and ultimately to enhance the development of therapeutics for all populations. The program collaborates with communities to facilitate an approach to clinical and translational research that is community-informed, designed and conducted.
