Health Journalism

September 20, 2015 By Shelley Wood

As managing editor at TCTMD.com, I now spend my days mostly assigning, editing, occasionally blogging for the Editor’s Corner, and hosting a podcast (“Heart Sounds”) and current affairs video program called On Record. For 14 years I wrote between 100 – 150 articles every year for theheart.org/Medscape about heart disease,  health policy, and related topics and led a range of video interviews.
