24th ESPACOMP conference:
ESPACOMP is more than a meeting. It is a community of adherence researchers and practitioners. It is a place for us to connect, learn, and advance the field of medication adherence. This year we cannot safely convene in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, we are delighted to convene several highlights of the conference virtually on the ESPACOMP website. These highlights will include keynote presentations by Marie Paule Schneider, this year’s winner of the John Urquhart Memorial Lecture, and by Alexandra Dima.
The call for abstracts is now open and we will hold a virtual poster session. Exciting and new this year, abstracts will be published following in the annual meeting.
Additionally, we will hold three workshops focused on hybrid designs in implementation science, adherence-related education for health care practitioners, and a statistical course.
There will also be a corporate roundtable. While we cannot convene in person this year, we are delighted to have multiple opportunities to remain connected. As events are online, this year we can provide access to cutting-edge adherence research and learning at a reduced cost.
We remain committed to providing a forum to connect adherence and look forward to seeing you in 2021 in Estonia!
Leah Zullig, president ESPACOMP 2020
