1 Assess your skills and interests

Before you pursue a career in patient advocacy, you should assess your own skills and interests. Patient advocates need to have strong communication, research, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills, as well as compassion, empathy, and cultural competence. You should also have a genuine interest in health care and social justice issues, and a willingness to learn and adapt to different situations and needs. You can use online tools, such as self-assessment quizzes, career guides, or mentorship programs, to help you identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

En el caso del Perú, donde las comunidades desatendidas suelen ser las zonas rurales y en éstas, el castellano no es el idioma predominante, la persona que desee defender a los pacientes debería esforzarse por aprender su idioma (quechua, aymara, etc.) siendo ideal, pero no obligatorio, que pertenezca a uno de los pueblos indígenas. Al mismo tiempo debe ser una persona consciente sobre los problemas de racismo y discriminación que subyacen a la indiferencia de las autoridades hacia la problemática de estos sectores. Debe también tener mucha constancia para vencer la inercia de las autoridades y desarrollar una adecuada labor de incidencia. No es una tarea imposible, porque conozco a varias personas que han logrado ayudar a mucha gente.

I supervise a women's empowerment organization with almost 2000 members, most of whom are underprivileged. Even though these women are in need, they still have a choice to decide who should help them overcome their difficult living conditions. Before my intervention, many people tried and failed to build a trusting relationship. My leadership approach to building rapport relies on the following steps: - Take time to learn their history and belief system, - Active listening to their expectations, - Emotional connection based on their shared values, - Suggest programs that respond to their needs as well as capitalizing on their experience, - Ongoing coaching and proximity management In sum, one should be passionate about serving to make it.

According to my experience, assessing oneself with reduced bias can be beneficial by confidently inquiring about skills and seeking input from those who know you best. Understanding their expectations from the bedside leads to a comprehensive approach to patient advocacy. #HealthcareAdvocacy #PatientCare #Inclusivity

Estamos asistiendo a un cambio de paradigma en el ámbito de la salud donde el paciente empieza a ser protagonista y voz activa en el ecosistema que rodea la enfermedad. Ha pasado de ser mero espectador a participar en los procesos en dos niveles. A nivel micro (entender lo que pasa en su cuerpo cuando hay enfermedad, qué sucede con la medicación que pautan, aprender de los protocolos que se le aplican) y a nivel macro (participación en grupos de trabajo que permitan tener voz en contextos estructurales, ser consultados por los médicos e investigadores expertos) El reto está en hacer partícipes a los pacientes que no saben que son imprescindibles en este camino. Y para eso necesitamos agentes de cambio que permitan hacer la travesía juntos

La première étape est d'abord de voir si la cause nous anime. Ensuite, il est pertinent de s'informer sur la clientèle. Agir pour et par les personnes et non voir cela comme un projet personnel.

3 Choose your niche and network

Patient advocates can work in different settings and specialize in different areas, such as chronic illness, mental health, disability, elder care, or end-of-life care. You should choose a niche that aligns with your interests, skills, and values, and that meets the needs and preferences of the underserved communities you want to serve. You should also network with other patient advocates, health care providers, and community leaders who work in your niche, and learn from their experiences and insights. You can join professional associations, online forums, or local groups that focus on patient advocacy and underserved communities.

5 Keep learning and growing

Becoming a patient advocate for underserved communities is not a one-time event, but a continuous process of learning and growing. You should keep up to date with the latest developments and trends in health care and patient advocacy, and seek feedback and guidance from your peers and mentors. You should also reflect on your own practice and identify areas for improvement or innovation. You should also take care of your own health and well-being, and seek support when needed, as patient advocacy can be rewarding but also challenging and stressful.
