Advancing Nuclear Medicine Through Patient Voices

Nuclear medicine’s greatest promise is improving patient’s lives, both in quality and longevity, and no one knows that more than patients who have had first-hand experience with nuclear medicine. In fact, it’s often the patients themselves that are our field's greatest advocates. From becoming ambassadors for nuclear medicine to championing FDA approvals of new radiopharmaceuticals to lobbying lawmakers for change, our patients are our most powerful asset. On this episode of the JNM Podcast, host Ken Herrmann and physician Lisa Bodei are joined by two patients: Brittany McKelvey, chair of SNMMI’s Patient Advisory Advocate Board, and Josh Mailman, a patient with extensive leadership experience in the neuroendocrine tumors space. Together, they discuss the role of patient advocacy - whether that’s in the clinic, the halls of government, or in their everyday lives. Now streaming wherever you listen to podcasts.
