Initially an offshoot of scholarship in the rhetoric of science, research concerning what is sometimes called “medical rhetoric,” the “rhetoric of medicine,” or “biomedical rhetoric” has proliferated in recent years. Rhetoricians can look to an ever-growing set of books (Bennett, 2009; Berkenkotter, 2008; Emmons, 2010; Heifferon, 2005; Heifferon & Brown, 2009; Hyde & Herrick, 2013; Keränen, 2010b; Leach & Dysart-Gale, 2010; Scott, 2003b; Segal, 2005; Wells, 2010), encyclopedia and overview essays (Derkatch & Segal, 2005; Keränen, 2010a; Segal 2009b), special issues (Barton, 2005; Hass, 2009; Koerber & Still, 2008; Lyne, 2001; Present Tense Editors, 2012), RSA workshops (held in 2007, 2009, and 2011), and journal articles (Derkatch, 2012; Ding, 2009; Graham, 2009; Keränen, 2011b; Majdik & Platt, 2012; Owens, 2009; Paroske, 2012; Pender, 2012; Scott, 2006; Segal, 2009a; Spoel & James, 2006; Teston, 2009) as evidence of growth. In this report, we reflect on the inventional possibilities for future scholarship in the area. We maintain that rhetoricians of health and medicine should continue to carve out an expansive focus on the exigencies, functions, and impacts of health-related discourse; attend to the movement, surrounding networks, and ecologies of this discourse; and work with other scholars/researchers, both inside and outside disciplinary rhetorical studies, toward a variety of goals.
