When you think health care, do you picture white coats and clinical trials, or do you see a tapestry of real-life stories and patient voices waiting to be heard? Join me, Dr. BCW, as I sit down with public health virtuoso Pam Cusick, whose three-decade crusade for patient empowerment and crystal-clear communication in healthcare research is nothing short of revolutionary. Pam's candor about her early FDA work during the AIDS crisis, her insights into the rise of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, and her unwavering advocacy for patient involvement in research, shines a light on the human side of health innovation. Together, we unpack the complexities and celebrate the victories of bringing patient experiences to the forefront of healthcare design and delivery.Healthcare is undergoing a seismic shift, with patient-centricity at its heart. This episode peels back the layers of what it truly means to center patients in the health narrative, with a special focus on the transformative power of their input in clinical trial design. Listen to the poignant story of a woman with Fabry disease and the profound lessons her experiences impart about the necessity of empathy and understanding in treatment and research. As Pam and I explore the broader implications of patient feedback, we confront the realities of health equity and the vital role that patient voices play in steering the healthcare system toward more equitable, effective outcomes for all. Don't miss this deep dive into the essence of what makes health care not just a service, but a partnership.Thank you for Listening to Beyond Clinical Walls Podcast.To find more from Dr. BCW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondClinicalWalls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_bcw/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr_bcw Twitter: https://twitter.com/dr_bcw

If you are a medical writer my guess is that you occasionally struggle to engage your target audience. Health professionals have less time and shorter attention spans, making it critical for medical writers to master storytelling techniques that get their audiences interested and engaged with content, whether we’re talking about slide decks, manuscripts, or omni-channel content.
My guest in episode 102 is Eleanor Steele, also known as MedComms Mentor, who shares how she transitioned from agency work to running a successful freelance business in medical communications. Join us to learn more about the gaps Eleanor identified in the market for specialized training and development and get practical advice from Eleanor about:
Storytelling frameworks that support a logical flow of information and answer audience questions
How to frame content around audience needs and interests
The skills you need to write "bite-sized" short-form content optimized for different formats
This conversation with Eleanor is part of our first Friday series, which profiles medical writers and how they have broken into the field. It's also the last episode of season 7.
