Sandoz Inc., United States

Because the US approval pathway for biosimilars and interchangeable biologics is relatively new, it is important to ensure appropriate information about these products is available for those making critical decisions about prescribing or their own treatment options. In this session, an assessment of the current understanding of US health care professionals and the public of the concepts of biosimilars and interchangeable biologics will provide insights into the areas for which education is needed. Ongoing and future programs designed by a patient advocacy group and a professional society for their memberships will illustrate varied approaches to accomplishing goals for biosimilar education.
