The Voices Project: Nick, Peggy and Dave

Nick reviewed the history of the project. We have collected both quantitative data from our survey and qualitative data from interviews conducted with 20 of our most active listserv participants. We continue to collect data which will be published in our newsletter and in e-patients.net. Comments from the individuals’ interviewed will remain anonymous. The goal behind this project is to declare and document the participatory medicine movement, help and to demonstrate the ability of patients to participate in their health needs.

Update on The Learning Exchange

This is a program where our members present their participatory medicine experiences. Several presentations have been developed to be shared, but we need someone who is familiar with Google Hangouts to help us get this launched.

SPM Publishing Group

We would like to create an SPM publishing group which will include the Journal, the blog and other web-based resources. We need to resolve some of the technical issues and determine a budget.
