Health & Veritas: Yale's Healthcare and Health Policy Podcast

Howard Forman, Harlan Krumholz

Booking Overview

A weekly healthcare interview show focused on healthcare news, policy, medical research, and evidence-based analysis, with recurring external guests who are senior health-system executives, physician-researchers, healthcare innovators, and biotech leaders. PR agencies could credibly pitch hospital executives, medical researchers, health-policy experts, behavioral-science specialists, and biotechnology founders or scientific officers; booking difficulty is high because guests typically hold prominent leadership or academic positions.
