RxReport: A journalism hub for health care providers
Training health care providers to become scientific journalists: 1) to root medical communication in facts and lived experience and 2) to give stake to frontline workers in health policy, equity, and structural change.
Scientific journalism is facing major challenges with reporter job cuts and the spread of misinformation (Priyadarshini 2025, Stelter 2025). Simultaneously, 1 in 2 physicians report feeling burnt out, with a leading reason being feeling powerless and disempowered in creating substantial change in the health care system (AMA 2025; Physicians Foundation 2025). To bridge the gap in scientific journalism and health care provider involvement in social change, we present RxReport: an initiative rooted in civic medicine and storytelling.
