The Power of Patient Partners in Research

🎙️ In this episode of the GOSH podcast, co-hosts Carly and Sabrina sit down with Karen Bemister, a passionate advocate and patient partner in research from Ontario, Canada. Karen shares her journey as a patient partner—someone with lived experience who collaborates with researchers not as a participant, but as an equal team member. Together, we explore the value of patient-oriented research, where patients help shape studies, guide priorities, and ensure the work truly reflects the needs of patients and communities. Tune in to learn how centering patients leads to more meaningful, relevant, and impactful research. For more information on the Gynecologic Cancer Initiative, please visit https://gynecancerinitiative.ca/ or email us at [email protected]  Where to learn more about us:  Twitter – @GCI_Cluster Instagram – @gynecancerinitiative Facebook – facebook.com/gynecancerinitiativeTikTok – @gci_gosh
