Patient Expert vs. Patient Advocate

Patient Expert – Patient experts have formal training (e.g., through patient engagement programs) and are considered valuable partners in improving healthcare quality, research, and policy from a patient-centred perspective.

Patient Advocate – Patient advocates may be patients themselves, caregivers, or professionals, and they often work at the personal, community, or systemic level to ensure patients’ voices are heard and respected.
