An important skill in health writing is the ability to integrate the insight, opinion, and research of experts. While not every article type may feature quotes from experts, incorporating the insights of people who offer precise and timely information about a health topic can bring additional value to your story.
Quotes from researchers or health professionals support the facts you discuss along with cited references, adding clarity and credibility to your content while making it more informative and trustworthy.
With their vast knowledge, expertise, and experience in a particular field, experts are well-informed about the latest research in specific areas of that field. As a result, they can offer fresh perspectives and sometimes even provide exclusive glimpses into unpublished research findings, giving your narrative a unique angle.
Captivating readers when writing about health, science, and medical topics can sometimes be challenging. Including expert quotes in your article not only breaks up the content, but also adds a distinct voice to your health story, making it more interesting and engaging for your audience.
