Tasting Your Own Medicine – How to Advocate for Yourself in Medical Settings

Lecture Overview

Karan wants to empower individuals to take control of their medical decisions and advocate for themselves in conversations with their health professionals. Karan will share research and narratives from people who have experienced the healthcare system as patients themselves or on behalf of loved ones, and from professionals working within the system, including some of his own personal experiences as a patient.

You will learn:

Being inquisitive and curious about your care does not make you a bad patient.
Providing patients with that voice both as a loved one and a health professional can be immensely valuable in their ultimate outcomes and benefit all parties involved.

Karan speaks to everyday adolescents and adults, trained patient advocates, and healthcare professionals who want to look at patient advocacy, empowerment, and support in a whole new way.
