At the Society for Participatory Medicine, they connect everyone who has a stake in healthcare — patients, families, clinicians, payers, researchers, and policy leaders — to work together as partners. They believe collaboration, clear communication, and mutual respect lead to stronger engagement, better education, and care that truly works for people’s lives.
Their mission is supported with their commitment to:
Research
Provide a participatory medicine forum for collaborative research exchange and evidence based practice project collaboration.
Education & Resources
Provide resources, reference tools and best practice standards that support participatory medicine.
Advocacy & Policy
Ongoing work with government officials, policy-making bodies, patient advocacy organizations to foster the ideals of participatory medicine.
Community
Encourage collaboration and networking among members and organizations who are ambassadors for the participatory medicine movement.
The Society for Participatory Medicine is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization devoted to promoting the practice of participatory medicine, which enables collaborative communication and information sharing among patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
