Guest Quotes:

What’s the origin story of the Bridge the Gap conference?

1:44 Melissa “There were gaps between kind of disseminating and implementing information from the classroom to the clinic, and then also from research published evidence into real world settings with all the barriers and constraints and things that go on within the health care system. And so thinking of those gaps we really sought to have a conference where people could come together around those topics and try to improve and, and bridge those gaps.”

On BTG Speakers

13:33 Melissa: “…we’re really, really intentional about trying to get all kinds of different perspectives from different stakeholders. So we had rural, we have large hospital, we have administrators, we have clinicians we have academics who are trying to like take complex patients and how do we weave that into a curriculum? …we did our best to get a comprehensive view of what it means to take evidence and innovative ways and move it into practical application.”
