CTHS Speakers Bureau

Connecting Your Audience to Timely Expertise

The Coalition for Trust in Health & Science (CTHS) Speakers Bureau connects organizations with experienced leaders and experts who can bring practical insights on trust, communication, engagement, and navigating misinformation to conferences, meetings, internal training (such as Grand Rounds), podcasts, and other events.

CTHS is committed to sharing what we learn across the health and science ecosystem. Our speakers bring expertise from across health, science, research, communications, and related fields to discuss topics including but not limited to:

Communicating about challenging health and science topics, such as vaccines or wellness trends

  • Building and maintaining trust in health and science
  • Health and science misinformation and disinformation
  • The psychology of trust and misinformation
  • Effective health and science communication
  • Public health communication, including state and local public health
  • Trusted messengers and community engagement
  • Storytelling as a tool for building trust
  • Bioethics and trust
  • The history of trust in U.S. health care

NEW: Health Perception Grand Rounds Training

Through generous funding from Unlikely Collaborators, CTHS is launching a new Health Perception Grand Rounds training program for health and science organizations and professional audiences. The program focuses on practical approaches professionals can use to better understand how people form health beliefs and navigate difficult conversations about health information.
