Beginning in December 2020, researchers who have been members of EACH: International Association for Communication in Healthcare but whose primary affiliation is the International Communication Association (ICA) and who are part of the Health Communication Division of ICA worked with leaders of EACH to create a partnership between the two organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This partnership offers opportunities to be involved in both EACH and ICA, become involved in the discussion and potential collaboration opportunities through networking, mentoring, and public forums at conferences and online webinars. This partnership has potential to bring organizational structure for people who want to advance their own research and network across both organizations. At the collective level, the partnership expands our international networks to do research across country and disciplinary boundaries. The robust, theoretically-based work that is a foundation of ICA members, and the expertise in and access to healthcare communication of EACH members, provides a cornerstone for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EACH\/ICA Partnership Working Group comprises researchers who are members of EACH and the Health Communication Division of ICA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the collective level, the partnership expands our international networks to do research across country and disciplinary boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
