Giving healthcare experts a voice in the mainstream media

Evidencenetwork.ca creates original media content on health policy topics for publication in the mainstream media. Evidence Network relies on 70 Canadian academics and nine international experts who tackle complex and controversial issues surrounding the healthcare system. It was founded by Dr. Noralou Roos, professor in the Department of Community Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba. She wanted to make sure that the work being done by Canadian researchers was being communicated to people outside the medical community. Since 2011, over 2000 original articles and OpEds have been published. Interview by Mélanie Meloche-Holubowski, journalist intern at EvidenceNetwork.ca, and journalist with Radio-Canada.
