The Lab FAQs
About The Lab
ľֱ is launching a new collaborative advisory board called “The Lab.” The Lab will be a bridge between the worlds of journalism and medicine, acting as a resource to advise us on the most pressing issues impacting healthcare workers, patients, and the profession of medicine itself.
It will be composed of students and early-career doctors, nurses, public health professionals, healthcare and product designers, and others in the health space who want to change the field of medicine for the better and enjoy working with journalists to share impactful stories.
These are individuals who have BIG ideas, unique perspectives, and stories to tell. While holding some similarities to our editorial board, The Lab is distinguished by a focus on advancement.
