Participants gain a nuanced understanding of how healthcare professionals from various disciplines can synergize their efforts to prevent, diagnose, and manage ADRs effectively. By the conclusion of this activity, attendees will be well-versed in fostering a collaborative and patient-centric approach to optimize outcomes in healthcare settings.
