At Daily Remedy, we believe that healthcare news is different from other genres. When people read news about health, they nearly always personalize what they read relative to their health. It’s instinctive. Regardless of your educational background, level of clinical training, or personal experience in the healthcare system, we all personalize healthcare news in ways we just don’t for other genres.
This means producers and curators of healthcare content have an added responsibility to both inform and educate readers. This is why Daily Remedy has the moniker: empowering patients, educating the public. We’ve always seen healthcare news through a dual lens. Our readers are never passive consumers of content. They’re actively engaged in their healthcare experience. We’re proud to be a part of that patient journey. With this in mind, we’re proud to announce:
Daily Remedy is offering new features in 2024 to enhance the patient experience and cultivate educational opportunities for physicians.
- We will offer CME (continuing medical education) credit for physicians and other healthcare providers who consume our content.
- We will explore implicit biases in medical education and evaluate how that informs physician development and training.
- We will study how patient content – articles, video clips, podcasts – goes viral and discern factors that optimize patient virality.
- We will feature new innovations that improve the patient experience and glean our readers’ feedback on the perceived value of those innovations.
We’ll offer CME credit for physicians and healthcare providers eligible for CME to review and verify the clinical fundamentals within our content and reflect on how the content informs their clinical care. We’d like your input on where we should offer CME credit. Currently, we plan to offer it for those who consume our podcasts and news articles. But we believe CME credit should be also be given to those who consume our newsletters as well.
Let us know what you think and where you’d like us to offer CME credit.
We’re building a partnership with the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) to corroborate their stated mission of addressing structural and systemic implicit biases in medical education. We’ll work with patients, medical students, pre-medical students, and physicians to see how the AAMC intends to implement its stated goals. One of the first projects we’ll unveil as part of this partnership is evaluating how the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) structures its questions to account for implicit biases. We find the MCAT to be particularly important. It’s most medical students’ first foray in the world of medical education. Gleaning insights from that experience will prove invaluable for both the AAMC and our readers.
Do you know any students preparing for the MCAT who would be interested in participating in a pilot project where we study their perceptions of implicit biases? We’re currently enrolling participants for a month-long program. Right now we’re capped at only ten students per month.
We’ve always had a soft spot for patients, particularly those disenfranchised by a healthcare system that can be overtly cruel at times. We made it a point to highlight their stories and support their advocacy. We’re taking it a step further by studying how patients can successfully get their stories and advocacies to go viral. We’ll start by evaluating how patients interact with one another on online mediums. Then we’ll select certain patients to produce content – whether that’s an article, a podcast, or a short video clip – with the intention of having that content go viral. We’ll monitor online trends in real time to see what forms of content and formatting go viral.
Would you like to participate in this program? We’re looking for patients with complex, chronic pain.
And last, we’ll continue to support the health innovation ecosystem by showcasing startups and entrepreneurs who are paving the way for a better healthcare system and patient experience. Just as we have always done, we’ll highlight their clinical benefits and scrutinize their value proposition. But now, we’ll offer CME credit to physicians and health providers eligible for CME credit to evaluate these startups. This way, we enhance the health innovation ecosystem by connecting clinicians and clinical administrators with entrepreneurs and innovators.
Do you have a startup or know of anyone with a startup that would like to be featured on Daily Remedy? We have an entire readership of physicians interested in learning more about you and your startup!
So stay tuned! Throughout 2024, Daily Remedy will unveil more exciting features and content.
Please share any suggestions or feedback on these endeavors as we continue to grow and find new ways to serve our readers. Your support validates our effort. And for that, we’re eternally thankful.
