Compensation, with Zal Press and Dawn P. Richards

How to compensate patient partners, and under what circumstances, has long been a topic of debate among patient partners, researchers, and engagement professionals. Join us as we speak with Zal Press and Dawn P. Richards, co-authors (with Isabel Jordan and Kimberly Strain) of "Patient partner compensation in research and health care: the patient perspective on why and how (https://pxjournal.org/journal/vol5/is...) ." They share their experiences and perspectives as long-time patient partners on both organizational committees and health research projects. In this fascinating exploration with Zal and Dawn, we talk through some big ideas: patients conceptualized as part of the healthcare workforce; the historical roots of healthcare as a faith-based charitable enterprise; how patient partners are shouldering the burden for having awkward conversations about compensation; that compensation doesn't fix communication issues... and so much more!
