The Professional Advisory Council acts as a liaison between the patient advocacy triangle: industry, providers, and the patient community, where we share information and communicate openly to find the most urgent unmet needs of patients and find ways to fill those needs. The Council is available to provide assistance and meets on an as-need basis.
