One of our purposes for Emerging Worlds is to bring together top researchers, clinicians, nurses and caregivers to exchange views, ideas and work on chronic illness. The Professional Forums are "by invitation only". We pose a question or a topic to our rapidly expanding network of professionals and post their responses for all of us to explore.

These exchanges are designed to illuminate individual's work in an effort to identify the common themes we hear when we are conducting our audio interviews. We believe this exchange will benefit all of us in our efforts to reduce the suffering caused by chronic illness.

We wish wellness for all,

Jennifer Walton Jamie Sams David Riordan
