Kristy's story:
Name: Kristy Goodman, MS, MPH, PA-C
Location: Los Angeles, CA
"I’m trained as a PA (physician assistant) and have a Master of Public Health with a focus on Health Education and Behavorial Science. As a healthcare provider, I rely on resources like Cochrane Reviews to stay up-to-date on current research. This allows me to provide my patients with evidence-based information so that they can feel empowered to make the best decisions for themselves and their families. The plain language summaries are a great educational tool to provide to patients at the end of our visits to reiterate the information we’ve discussed in a language that they can understand.”
