• Play a key role in elevating the voices of scientists, health care workers, and “next generation”  clinicians by advising on topics and spokespeople for PHR’s webinar series and contributing content to populate our social media and traditional media efforts;
• Coordinate across departments to harmonize content and messaging among the program, advocacy, and communications teams; and
• Connect with existing and new partners and represent PHR in medical, scientific, and human rights coalitions and related campaigns.
