 Can clinical trials be a helpful treatment option for patients? In this episode of The Scope of Things, host Deborah Borfitz speaks with Colleen Purcell Tenan, MD, Medical Director at Javara, about providing clinical research as a care option for patients. Tenan talks about the benefits of receiving clinical research care from one’s own physician, Javara’s process of matching patients with the right healthcare system for clinical trials, and how Javara supports providers who haven’t done sponsor research before. She also shares her thoughts on where decentralized trial components best fit in clinical studies in a post-pandemic world and using remote technologies for convenient medical care and research.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
