Description
AbbVie’s Independent Educational Grants support education on current, new, and emerging science, therapies, and standards of care. The program aims to improve patient care, advance medical practice and performance, and increase treatment knowledge and disease awareness. Support includes independent continuing education for healthcare providers, telemedicine and telehealth education, patient education through patient organizations, and fellowships that extend healthcare providers’ training.
The program also seeks to bridge gaps between academia and community and rural settings. Its therapeutic priorities include immunology, oncology, neuroscience, aesthetics, eye care, and other areas of significant unmet patient need. Educational support is independent of AbbVie’s medicines and treatments, with an emphasis on scientific knowledge, capacity building, patient engagement, and communication between patients and care teams.
