Teri Robert
Patient advocate and writer
Teri Robert's career moved in this direction when her own Migraine
disease spun out of control in the late 90s. Faced with debilitating
Migraines and failed medical care, she hit the Internet for answers. She
soon found that there was no one site that combined all she was looking
for, and that there are sites with excellent information and sites with
misinformation. It was at that time that she joined About.com as an
opportunity to produce the site she was looking for. She remained there
as their Guide to Headaches and Migraines for nearly seven years before
joining the HealthCentral Network's
MyMigraineConnection.com in 2007.
Experience and affiliations:
Teri is a well known author and patient advocate and was awarded the
National Headache Foundation's Patient Partners Award in 2004 for her
"ongoing patient education, support and advocacy." She is one of four
founding members and the current secretary of the
Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy.
Teri's organizational memberships
include:
She is an advocate for
Teri's first book, "Living
Well with Migraine Disease and Headaches," published by
HarperCollins, was released in 2005 and remains a top selling book in
the field.
Teri appeared on CNN Headline News Channel, during Prime News Tonight,
in an educational segment about Migraine disease. She has also written
for "The Pain Practitioner," the quarterly magazine of the
American Academy of Pain Management, and currently writes patient
education articles for the
Texas
Pain Society.
Education:
The need for current knowledge in this field is critical, especially
since there is so much developing research. To satisfy that need, Teri
is constantly studying medical journals and books and attends medical
conferences on a regular basis. She has earned continuing education
hours in this field from the
American Headache Society, the Penn State College of Medicine, the
Primary Care Network, the
Annenberg Center for Health Sciences, and the
Center for Health Care Education.
