How do you prepare a global workforce for the future of medicine? Dr. Roslyn “Roz” Schneider, recently appointed Vice Chair of the GDMP Academy Board, explains why continuous learning and patient-centered care are key in this exclusive interview. With a rich background in clinical care, hospital leadership, and biopharma, Dr. Schneider brings a truly patient-centered perspective to her role.

In our conversation, she talks about how the Academy helps professionals stay agile and prepared in a fast-changing healthcare world and eloquently highlights the importance of patient involvement throughout medicines development:

“There are discrete points where the lived experience of patients, care partners and family members should be included by design.”

She also shares her hope that what learners gain at the Academy becomes part of their daily work: “The most meaningful impact… will be as learners go back to their work and apply what they learn at the Academy in their daily work, so that it becomes business as usual.”

Whether you work in healthcare, life sciences, or policy, Dr. Schneider’s insights show why the Academy is such a vital resource for both today and tomorrow.
