Healthcare communications and marketing news and information

I'm doing my part to raise awarness of some worthy efforts by two of my blog/real world friends. 

Pharma Blogosphere Survey

John Mack has launched the first-ever survey of reader opinions of blogs focused on the pharmaceutical industry.  Mack was kind enough to include this blog in the survey.  So, if you have 3 - 4 minutes to spare, I encourage you to take the poll and rate HealthCareVox and other blogs.  He's also included some free Pharma Marketing News reprints to sweeten the pot.  To learn more please click here. 

Social Marketing University

Nedra Kline Weinreich is hosting another edition of her Social Marketing University from March 28 to 29 in Washington, DC.  According to Weinreich, "at Social Marketing University, you will move beyond the usual educational approach to changing health and social behaviors. Using social marketing, you will learn how to persuade individuals to take action for change by addressing the values, needs and desires that motivate them. It's about understanding and connecting with your audience by applying the same effective marketing tools that companies like Nike and Apple use."

In addition, if you use the code HCV75, you will receive $75 off registration for the course.  To learn more and register, please click here.
