Description

I’m just a small-town girl from Cleveland entering the premed track who wants to share her passion for medicine in any way she can. I hope to explore the systemic challenges and solutions in healthcare today and how we can do better in the future.

In this episode, I have done my best to reduce the focus on planned parenthood as an abortion provider and help listeners become more aware of the other services it provides. Moreover, I delineate the fact that a lot of its shortcomings and problems are not unique to this organization alone but something we see in society and the healthcare system at large.
In this episode, I talk more about another facet of disparities in healthcare so far as male medical bias is concerned and the solutions women can take on an individual level to help reduce its effect in their daily lives and receive the best treatment possible.
Women have often been (and still are) underrepresented and discriminated against in medicine, especially when it comes to positions of authority. In this episode, we talk about exactly what these strong words mean and the solutions that can be implemented to change the status quo.
In this episode, we discuss the basic concept of value-based care and how providers in the healthcare ecosystem often fall short of truly achieving it.
