AGA is proud to introduce its latest course offering, Biosimilars: How to Make the Switch, developed in partnership with Medical Minds and supported by an educational grant from Pfizer, Inc.
This four-part series will focus on real-world practical approaches to the adoption of biosimilars and the data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of biosimilars in different clinical settings. You will also learn how to integrate biosimilars into your clinical setting and address any patient concerns about switching therapies.
