Hello! My name is Dr. Amelia Burke-Garcia and I am a health communicator. I have been working at the intersection of health and digital spaces for over 20 years.

My work has tested some of the most innovative digital communication methods in support of health communication and behavior change initiatives globally. Currently, I am exploring how AI could be the newest form of opinion leader for the digital age. 

I currently work for NORC at the University of Chicago as the Director of the Center for Health Communication Science. In this role, I design, implement, and evaluate strategies that leverage the science of communication to influence behavior. 

I have been named to VeryWellHealth.com’s list of 10 Modern Female Innovators Shaking Up Health Care and featured by the U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, for my work. 

My new award-winning book, Communicating Through a Pandemic: A Chronicle of Experiences, Lessons Learned, and a Vision for the Future, is out now! Make sure to order your copy of the book today!

I am your leading resource for understanding health communication, campaign evaluation, digital opinion leadership, online influencers, Health Communication AI – and so much more!
