"What makes me most proud is seeing patients and researchers working together confidently."

Patient Working Group (PWG) member Christine Qiong Wu shared her experience at this year's MOHCCN Operational Meeting in a recent video. Christine has been part of the MOHCCN Patient Working Group (PWG) since the beginning and seen the Network and its members' growth firsthand. She reflects on how, in the early days of the PWG, members were often shy and hesitant to speak up in rooms filled with experts. Today, that confidence has transformed into active and enthusiastic engagement, as PWG members ask questions and engage in meaningful dialogue with researchers. Researchers, in turn, welcome these conversations, valuing patients’ perspectives and showing genuine interest in the ideas they bring forward.

We continue to be amazed by the diverse and meaningful contributions of our Patient Working Group members and their commitment to making precision medicine accessible across Canada.
