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.”
