As a member of the rare disease community, bleeding disorder patients and their families are used to taking surveys, signing up for clinical trials, and/or sharing our thoughts about what it is like living with a bleeding disorder. So what makes this new initiative from the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) different? Join us for a conversation with NHF Head of Research, Michelle Witkop and Research Nurse Specialist, Maria Santaella as they share the details of MyBDC, a community-powered registry aimed at capturing the patient experience. MyBDC is a comprehensive, personalized registry that focuses on the entire family unit. Want to learn more? Join us for an in-depth conversation about MyBDC on Ask the Expert!
