In the News

The Office of Communications

The Office of Communications is responsible for Boston Medical Center's media relations, public relations and publications.

In the area of media relations, the department generates publicity for Boston Medical Center through news releases, monitoring health news trends and offering Boston Medical Center experts to local and national news outlets for commentary on health topics. Additionally, the office helps members of the medical center community publicize campus events, academic achievements, medical research and other news of general interest.

All news and information to be released to the media from Boston Medical Center should be coordinated through the communications office.

The communications office maintains a Medical Expert Directory that describes faculty and staff members' areas of medical expertise. Updated regularly, the directory is available to members of the local and national media only and is used for reference when an expert is needed to comment on a particular medical topic.
