PANEL

Adult Spinal Muscular Atrophy - It’s Not Just Kids. Adult Treatment Options

Many Primary Care Physicians (PCP) are not completely aware that Spinal Muscular Atrophy impacts adults.

We're assembling an ongoing virtual advisory panel to explore the future of adult spinal muscular atrophy from the perspective of primary care physicians. We will discuss a range of topics including current & emerging treatment options, challenges around disease management, envisioning an ideal to treatment, and more.

A professional facilitator will be leading an open & honest discussion. In this collaborative engagement, you will be one of 20 equal-caliber peers in your field. You will have the unique opportunity to gain recognition for advancing the industry and demonstrate your thought-leadership -- in addition to earning merit-based compensation.

Activities include:
1. Exploring a variety of themes
2. Map the competitive landscape (i.e. emerging trends, disruptive tech, etc.)
3. React to the latest media/reports in this space
4. Enjoy the option of one-to-one engagement with other board members

Participation is 100% online and at your own convenience. By applying here, you are committing to participate once per week or as inspired, at your convenience.

Applicants
Sam Grief
Medical Director, Clinical Strategy Team
Board certified primary care physician for 26 years. Have seen many SMA patients, as well as related neuro-degenerative and congenital muscular/joint conditions so can lend perspective and compare/contrast to other treatment modalities and treatment paradigms.
Michael Lovela
Family Medicine Resident
Primary care physician (Family medicine) with commercial, govt, and private pay patients. Patient panel includes many patients with diabetes and hypertension.
Jennifer Pantal
Physician Assistant/PA Educator
Not only have I worked in primary care for the previous 4 years, working closely with patients and other providers in the prescription and education of OTC medications, but I also work in physician assistant education and educating the providers of tomorrow about factors that impact prescribing of medications such as cost, education, advancements, and accessibility.
Matthew Moran
Certified Prosthetist / Orthotist
I am a certified prosthetist / orthotist and work closely with orthopedic surgeons, PTs, OTs, and primary care physicians. We also work with insurance companies in attempting to get the services we provide covered for our patients. While I do not have any firsthand experience making 3D prosthetics or orthotics, our industry is clearly in the eyes of 3D printing. The materials we use daily (carbon fiber, titanium, acrylic resins, prepreg, etc.) would likely have applications in this field.
S. Mike Neskov
Certified Health Coach for Take Shape for Life
I'm a family physician, board-certified in family medicine and geriatrics, and I'm dealing with many patients who have chronic pain and especially peripheral neuropathy's and all kind of neurological pains. I'm using in my practice all kind of modalities of pain management, and I'm interested to be part of the study.

FAQ
  • add remove What is Currnt?
    Currnt is a “Knowledge Networking” platform where companies and professionals come to stay relevant on the latest advances in their industries in the face of the increasing pace of change. Companies sponsor panels to learn about where markets are headed or how to leverage new capabilities. Professionals join to demonstrate and develop their passions with equal caliber peers in expert-only facilitated online engagements. On Currnt, we take our passions seriously and ourselves lightly. See our Community Guidelines, to learn more of the rules of the road, here are some highlights

    • Be yourself. The authenticity of Currnt begins with the passion of people.
    • Be respectful. This applies to every person, at all times.
    • Be inclusive. Tolerate, welcome, and consider diverse people and perspectives.
    • Build empathy and understanding. Engage in debates that are in good faith.
    • Foster meaningful and genuine connections. This is what Currnt is all about.
    • Do not plagiarize or fail to cite other’s ideas.
    • Don’t game the points by trying to coordinate intentional recognition.
  • add remove How do Panels work?
    The panel is like a facilitated forum of hand selected experts on a topic sponsored by a company that wants to learn fast. Panels are organized in chapters called Themes that focus on one subtopic at a time. In some panels Themes are only 24 hours in duration, in others they are a week long, and in some they are two weeks long. When one Theme closes, a new one begins. You come in when you feel like it, but try to come in twice per Theme. You earn points from your peers and the facilitator when they react to your ideas. Likewise, others earn points when you interact on their posts. The more we discuss and debate, the better the insights, the more points earned by all.

  • add remove Why should I apply? Do I get paid?
    Professionals join Currnt because they want to remain relevant on subjects they’re passionate about and subjects that are shaping the future of their industry. They also:

    • Engage and connect with equal caliber peers in their industry
    • Learn and enhance their knowledge
    • Get recognized and rewarded for providing their inputs and thought-leadership
    • When specified above in the project description, you can earn honorarium payments and/or recognition points redeemable for cash. Learn more here.
  • add remove Are there specific times I need to participate?
    There are no set times for calls or meetings. Participation is 100% online on the Currnt platform and engagement between the all expert panelists is asynchronous in written form. Just come in twice per Theme, at your convenience.

  • add remove How do KnowledgeStreams and DesignSprints work?
    Streams are ongoing online engagements for exploration or working iteratively with a panel, and Sprints are on-demand engagement to get to actionable insights quickly. Both are facilitated and are always-on for participants to engage at-convenience. The conversations are segmented into Themes which are subtopics which are like chapters in a book. In a 4 Day Sprint, Themes are 24 hours, whereas a Theme in a Stream is every two week. Throughout the discussion, the facilitator highlights and categorizes the “key takeaways” to be voted and distilled into a summary report. It’s also common that other pieces of content (whitepapers, blogs, podcasts) are also prepared from the distilled insights.

  • add remove I’ve applied. Now what?
    Your application will be internally reviewed in the following 24-48hrs and screened for any conflict of interest, and general fit. Next your application will be shortlisted for the sponsor to accept, bookmark or reject. You will receive a notification each step of the way, but expect this may take a couple of days, or even weeks if the panel is new. Nevertheless, in addition to the notifications, you can always go back to the Apply page to view the status of your application.

  • add remove I’ve been selected. What am I expected to do when selected?
    Once you receive your Welcome Email, please RSVP by clicking the link in the notification. You can also gain access to the panel through your ‘My Currnt’ at the top of the page. Finally, once you have RSVP’d by logging into the panel, there is often a Welcome Tab where you can introduce yourself to the other panelists. If it’s a new panel, the first Theme will launch in a few days, if it’s an ongoing panel just jump right in by reacting to the question or to what the other panelists had to say.

  • add remove If I have other questions or issues, what should I do?
    Please contact support to answer any other questions or troubleshoot any issues via email or chat.
