Patient Voices: Stories from IDEOM’s Patient Research Partners
Welcome to Patient Voices, IDEOM’s new video series featuring candid conversations with our Patient Research Partners.
These powerful videos discuss challenging symptoms, getting the diagnosis, and the often long and winding road to finding effective treatment. We end with discussing the critical work these patients do in advocacy, research, and more as valued members of IDEOM.
We are immensely grateful to our Patient Research Partners for allowing us a glimpse into their lives with chronic, dermatologic conditions. We’re honored to get to share their stories with you.
We’ll be posting these stories one by one to give each person’s story space and time. Please check back regularly as new videos will be added biweekly.
