“…If communication skills cannot be taught didactically this implies a need for this teaching to be interactive with reflection and feedback pivotal to progression as it is in our other communication skills training. An editorial written by Campbell ( Campbell, 2018 ) argues for the promoted use of a separate field, rhetoric of health and medicine, to engage and produce humanistic clinicians through simulation. She also suggests that working with the interprofessional teams and the medical humanities we can enhance the doctor-patient relationship and health literacy.…”

The integration of the humanities into the medical curriculum over the past two decades has been widely adopted in the stream of communication usually within the realms of doctor-patient relationship. However, its integration within medical curriculum is inconsistent, and may only be present as an optional component in certain selected modules. The study of eloquence within medicine has not been described previously, we propose that its inclusion into the medical curricula will increase equality and diversity in medical training. We aim to debate the roles of medical humanities and the integration of eloquence into the medical curriculum. Integration of eloquence into the medical curriculum with the aim of developing written prose and oration could improve our interprofessional communication and bridge the gap for those from a wider social background accessing medicine.

“…Scholars of the rhetoric of health and medicine have begun to recognize and address the complex relationship between health‐related discourse and health‐care experiences or outcomes (Campbell, ), and other researchers have begun to attend to the health‐care experiences of LGBT veterans in the VA system (Institute of Medicine [US] Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health Issues and Research Gaps and Opportunities, ; Sherman, Kauth, Ridener, et al, ). This is the first study to bring those conversations together and provide data‐driven policy recommendations.…”

Nearly one million veterans identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) and could be eligible for services provided by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). Historical criminalization of service members prior to and during the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy created social and cultural barriers to LGBT veterans seeking VA care. To date, no studies have assessed the implementation of the VA's efforts to create a welcoming environment for LGBT veterans. This study fills that gap by using rhetorical genre studies to analyze how official http://VA.gov websites position and address LGBT veterans. Our results indicate that rhetorical and discursive strategies deployed on the VAMC web sites betray information asymmetries reflecting varying levels of ambition and commitment to inclusion of LGBT veterans. With a focus on techne, we conclude with research‐based recommendations for VA practitioners, administrators, and policymakers to improve patient‐provider communication through public digital rhetorics.

Stigma Stories: Rhetoric, Lived Experience, and Chronic Illness

Studying StigmaA Rhetorical Approach to Stories and Lived Experience SIX IN TEN ADULTS in the US live with at least one chronic condition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2019a). In other words, over half the US population lives with at least one long-term, likely incurable, condition (CDC, 2021b; National Center for Chronic Disease Pre- vention & Health Promotion, 2012). Such conditions vary widely but include cancer, addiction, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, and autoimmune conditions, among many others. Despite research demonstrating an already staggering prevalence of chronic conditions in the US, the number of Americans affected by chronic conditions is only estimated to rise. According to one report, "between 2000 and 2030 the number of Americans with chronic conditions will increase by 37 percent, an increase of 46 million people" (Anderson, 2010, p. 7; see also Wu & Green, 2000). The prevalence of chronic conditions alone is startling; however, concerns don't end there. As a category, chronic conditions disproportionately account for 75 to 90 percent of the overall healthcare costs in the US each year, an estimate that lands somewhere between two and three trillion dollars annually (
