CDC Issues Podcast on Clear Health Care Communication

Sep 19, 2024

Per the notice below, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a podcast on achieving clear communication in health care.

New Listen Up! Podcast Episode - The Science of Communicating Clearly

CDC’s Office of Communications is pleased to share the latest Listen Up! episode - Season 2, Episode 4, The Science of Communicating Clearly.

A podcast for health communicators by health communicators

Listen Up! is a professional development podcast for health communication professionals, including those working at the federal, state, and local levels, public health students, and others.

Whether you are a scientist, policy or communications professional, communicating science clearly has never been more important than now. Amidst a crowded information landscape, audiences skim information and seek content that is understandable the first time they see or hear it. Clear communication builds trust and saves lives and fortunately there is a scientific basis for how to do it.

This Science of Communicating Clearly podcast episode helps listeners understand the core principles and practices for clear communication and features a discussion with Dr. Michelle Hutchinson, former CDC Office of Communications health literacy lead, Lynn Sokler, senior communications advisor and lead for CDC Vital Signs, and Dr. Eric Pevzner, chief of CDC’s Epidemiology and Laboratory Workforce Branch and Epidemic Intelligence Service.
