Bill Adams became a PCORI Ambassador after attending a PCORI meeting in Minneapolis; he was impressed that patients were at the center of PCORI’s work. Adams participated in a Eugene Washington Engagement Award project as a member of the Training Advisory Group from 2015–2017. The project’s goal was to develop and implement training and curricula to increase the skills and capacity of medical students to engage with patients. Adams has also acted as a reviewer of Patient Outcomes Research-Translation Center summaries. He also participates in PCORI’s online webinars and Ambassador Coffee Breaks. Adams has been privileged to attend PCORI national meetings and has taken information from those meetings into his work as a patient voice and consumer representative.
