Carla Fisher, University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications Advertising associate professor, faculty affiliate in the UF Center for Arts in Medicine and a member of the UF Health Center’s Cancer Population Sciences research program, is profiled in the UF Health Cancer Center CARES Member Newsletter.

The profile includes information on her cancer communication research and how it how it can positively impact cancer interventions; why she chose interpersonal health communication as her life’s work; and her current projects in collaboration with health scholars including Carma Bylund, CJC Public Relations associate professor and associate professor in the Division of Hematology & Oncology at the UF College of Medicine.

According to Fisher, “It is so rewarding when patients and family members are willing to be interviewed about their experiences. I feel privileged that they share their stories with me in order to help other families facing cancer, and it is very rewarding for me to elevate their voice in research as well as healthcare practice.”

She adds, “When you work with community partners, your work is driven by the community and can reach those that can benefit from it.”
