Raman’s expertise is further highlighted by her recent recognition as a 2023-24 Rosalynn Carter Fellow for Mental Health Journalism. In this capacity, she is developing a yearlong series examining the implications of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision on mental health across the United States.
Acknowledged Achievements and Educational Background
Her career has been marked by prestigious fellowships, including those from the National Press Foundation and the United Nations Foundation. These experiences have solidified her reputation as a knowledgeable journalist in the health policy arena.
Raman is a graduate of Oberlin College, where she honed her skills in reporting and analysis, laying a strong foundation for her future endeavors in health journalism.
The addition of Raman to Bloomberg Law is expected to enhance the publication’s health care coverage, providing readers with in-depth insights and analysis on pressing health policy matters.
