Diversity and Inclusion in Clinical Trials with Jennifer Jones-McMeans, Ph.D.

Do you want to enroll a diverse patient population in your clinical trial? 

Are you a sponsor looking to develop a solid clinical trial strategy?

Are you looking to develop foundational skills as a clinical research scientist?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then this interview with Jennifer Jones-McMeans will serve you well.

Jenn currently serves as the Program Director for cardiovascular studies at Abbott Medical Devices. 

She has played a key scientific role in some of the largest drug eluting stent clinical trials from trial design to publications and presentations. 

It’s because of Jenn’s direct contributions as a scientist and scientific program director, many cardiology medical devices received FDA PMA approval or 510(K) clearance. 

Most recently, Jenn has been involved in Abbott’s efforts in designing studies that include a diverse group of underserved clinical trial participants. 

As an African American woman, mother, and wife, she is an inspiration and role model for women interested in developing their career in clinical research. 

My interview with Jenn touches on a variety of topics including diversity and inclusion in clinical trials, developing a clinical trial strategy, working with key opinion leaders, skills you need to grow your career as a clinical scientist, and much more.

I hope you enjoy my interview with Jennifer Jones-McMeans on the Clinical Trial Podcast.
