In countries where biosimilars transitioning occurs, specialists who work in rheumatology, oncology, diabetes, dermatology, and inflammatory bowel disease, describe the importance of educating patients and providing support and reassurance before, during, and after a transition. In this video, Arthritis Consumer Experts speaks to one of these experts, Dr. Susan Bartlett, MD, Clinical Psychologist, Researcher, Division of Rheumatology, McGill University. Dr. Bartlett explains how rheumatologists, nurses and pharmacists must be able to clearly explain the safety, quality and benefits of biosimilars when answering patient questions about transitioning and help give them confidence to ensure smooth transition between originators and biosimilars.
