Atlanta, Georgia - Three Youth Council members, Ananya Ganesh, Jake Haygood, and Hampton Woods, representing the International Children's Advisory Network (iCAN) presented a scientific poster at the 2019 Southeastern Research Conference on June 10th.
The collaborative research project led by Vivian Tsang, iCAN Youth Council Leader, featured information on abstract on the involvement of youth within pediatric research and healthcare using the platform of youth councils and/or advisory groups, such as iCAN.
Through the iCAN global network, youth members participated by providing insight from each participating pediatric hospital or academic institution in which kids participate within research through sharing their patient stories and supporting quality improvements.
