The Lab FAQs
About The Lab
51˶ is launching a new collaborative advisory board called “The Lab.” The Lab will be a bridge between the worlds of journalism and medicine, acting as a resource to advise us on the most pressing issues impacting healthcare workers, patients, and the profession of medicine itself.
It will be composed of students and early-career doctors, nurses, public health professionals, healthcare and product designers, and others in the health space who want to change the field of medicine for the better and enjoy working with journalists to share impactful stories.
These are individuals who have BIG ideas, unique perspectives, and stories to tell. While holding some similarities to our editorial board, The Lab is distinguished by a focus on advancement.
What Are the Benefits?
Members of The Lab will advance their causes and careers through the following benefits:
- Names, bios, and links to personal websites/social media featured on our website
- Publishing original content (op-eds, videos, Q&A’s, expert commentary, etc.)
- Networking and collaboration with other trailblazers in health
- Other forms of compensation for specific content (more details to come)
What Are the Expectations?
The 51˶ team will reach out regularly to request interviews and input on various projects. A few standing requirements include:
- A call with 51˶ every other month to discuss “hot topics” in medicine
- Contributed content (op-eds, podcast interviews, videos, etc.) at least twice per year
How Do I Join or Nominate Someone?
