episode Understanding Delaware's New Medical School artwork

Understanding Delaware's New Medical School

Health reporter Nick Stonesifer talks about a historic moment in Delaware health care – the announcement of who will be running the state's first medical school. Nick discusses how he goes beyond the press releases and the press conferences to detail the contours of a major policy announcement, and gets into the big unanswered questions behind the medical school project. He also details how he builds relationships – online and in person – with industry leaders and "the person on the street" to develop thorough perspectives in his health care coverage.
