Tracy Everhart is the Editor for Drug Law Journal.  A highly-trained and certified medical professional for over 20 years herself, Tracy is also an accomplished medical writer who has spent the past 8 years profiling leaders in the medical profession and tracking the latest developments in new technologies for treatment protocols.

Tracy spent the bulk of her medical career on the front lines of patient care and witnessed first-hand the processes through which new pharmaceutical and medical device technologies are introduced into the market.  It’s this unique insight, combined with her passion for the safety and well-being of her patients, which gives Drug Law Journal and its readers such thoughtful, well-balanced and informative articles.

“I get tremendous satisfaction from helping patients understand the implications from new drugs and devices.  Especially women – whose unique health concerns, I feel, have too often been overlooked by other online resources.”

Armed with the knowledge that most Americans either don’t know or understand the approval process by which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clears new drugs and devices for the market, Tracy works tirelessly to find real stories from real people, then writes and publishes articles on Drug Law Journal about the risks and benefits posed by new drug and device technologies.  Furthermore, Tracy single-handedly seeks out the advice and direction of professionals who understand the rights of those hurt by dangerous drugs and devices and combines these materials into informative and thought-provoking pieces for our readers.

Prior to joining Drug Law Journal, Tracy worked as a writer for Everydayfamily.com, an established family healthcare and pregnancy resource, as well as flo.health a groundbreaking interactive resource focused on women’s health issues.

In addition to her numerous professional accomplishments, Tracy holds a masters degree from the American College of Healthcare Sciences and an additional post-graduate degree from the Yale School of Nursing.  She also has a bachelor’s degree in microbiology from Hampshire College and an associate’s degree in nursing from the University of South Carolina.
