Episode 8 of The Med Ad News Show Podcast kicks off a three-part series of conversations with Thomas Sullivan, the president and founder of Rockpointe Corporation and the creator of the Policy and Medicine blog at www.policymed.com. In this episode, Mr. Sullivan discusses his efforts to give a voice to the CME industry’s defenders.
