PAMED Talks

Dana Lombardo, Julie Heaney, Arvind R. Cavale

Booking Overview

An interview-led medical association podcast focused on medicine, patient care, physician leadership, and Pennsylvania health care, with external guests typically drawn from physicians, medical trainees, health care executives, and health policy or reform experts. Agencies could credibly pitch practicing physicians, medical leaders, health care executives, physician advocates, and experts with relevant health care reform or workforce perspectives; booking difficulty is low because guests are generally accessible professionals with strong subject-matter relevance rather than national celebrities.
