Unlocking the Power of Informed Healthcare Decisions, with Kyazia Felder, aka "Auntie Ky"

Today is very timely to tackle the conversation surrounding healthcare exams and screenings, highlighting the importance of informed decision-making and understanding the available tests. Are you aware that there is a unique challenge in translating medical information for those without medical backgrounds? Also, there are implications in doctor quotas and a potential sacrifice of the doctor-patient relationship as a result.

Join us as we delve into her journey to becoming a physician-scientist specializing in biomedical research focused on minority and immigrant groups, and how this passion has driven her to improve lives through clinical research.
