What happens after a Patient Listening Session?

Thank you for taking the time to participate in a Patient Listening Session! Patient Listening Sessions help FDA understand what is important to the patient community when medical products are being developed.

Summary of Patient-Led Listening Sessions

We welcome and encourage you to develop a high-level summary of the Patient Listening Session. We simply ask that:

  • You allow FDA to quickly review the document before publishing it
  • You include a disclaimer that we will provide you

Be sure to send us the link to your published summary so we can add it to our Patient Listening Sessions Summaries webpage! After the session, we can provide you with a sample template for you to consider while writing the summary. You are not required to use the template.
