Our Patient Research Advisory Committee (PRAC) brings together patients who want to make a difference in scoliosis research. By sharing their real‑life experiences, they help guide research toward the questions that matter most to families. The committee strengthens communication between patients, parents, and researchers, and advocates for studies that truly improve quality of life and long‑term outcomes. Members also offer thoughtful feedback on new and ongoing research projects, ensuring every step forward reflects the needs and voices of the scoliosis community.

Because space is limited, we encourage you to sign up and add your name to our waitlist. We’ll contact you as soon as a seat becomes available.

  1. Have a medical or scientific background and be currently enrolled in graduate school, medical school, or a related healthcare training program
