On This Episode Of The Public Health Epidemiology Conversations (PHEC) Podcast
If you work in public health, you’ve probably had to explain an industry term to the general public on more than one occasion. How often should we be doing this? How can we ensure that the information we’re conveying is understood by the broader community? Join Dr. Huntley as she explores the intersection of public health, communication, and community to answer this fundamental question: How often should we define public health terms for the general public before we can be sure that they get it? We unpack the many opportunities public health professionals have to improve their communication, how to engage with your community, why we should all be striving to learn from those we serve, and much more. Tune in to hear it all!
