WHAT IS THE PATIENT EXPERT SCHOLARSHIP? 

The Patient Expert Scholarship provides financial support to expand your knowledge and understanding of medicines research and clinical trials as a patient leader. This includes support for completing all online modules, and a stipend for travel, accommodation, and catering to attend the in-person graduation event. 

The EUPATI Patient Expert Training Programme is a blended training experience consisting of 6 online modules (28 courses total) and 2 training events (1 virtual and 1 in-person). The full programme typically takes 12–14 months to complete and leads to more opportunities to engage in meaningful discussions with health officials, contribute to research, and raise awareness about serious dermatological diseases.
