This Week on Sound Medicine — Nov. 2

Oct 30, 2008

Linda Heitzman, the director of life science practices at Deloitte Consulting, will join Sound Medicine to discuss two growing trends in the business of medicine: medical tourism and retail health clinics.

Continuing the discussion of retail health clinics, Ateev Mehrota, M.D., MPH, researcher at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Medicine, will explain his recent study of the effectiveness of the clinics, such as those found in CVS and Wal-mart stores.

This month’s Sound Ethics will feature a discussion on the use of biobanks and guest host Eric Meslin, Ph.D., will share thoughts about his recent bioethics research in Western Australia.

In this week’s Sound Medicine “Check Up,” Jeremy Shere will highlight the Hip Hop Stroke program that teaches kids to be aware of the symptoms of a stroke.
