Medical Communicators Tell Stories Too

June 11, 2009    |    Nancy Duarte

Betsy Palay is the President of the Association of Medical Illustrators. She’s been a friend of Duarte’s for a few years. We connected around the concepts of making the complex simple. What could be more complex that showing how invisible things happen in our human bodies. Here are her insights into changes that have happened in the medical illustration field.

    Very interesting interview. I work in health IT, and one of my favorite parts of my work entails telling — or at least trying to tell — complex stories in simple ways. With that said, I’d be interested to hear Betsy’s opinions/experiences on effective ways to present complex stories (especially stories that involve a great deal of medical data), particularly when a single story needs to be told in 3 or 4 different ways. For example, a doctor, an administrator, and a patient might all need to hear the same story: how do you present in a way that is meaningful to each of them?
