Featuring Galina Gheihman, Megan Townsend, and Andreas Mitchell

This week, we have several guests. Joining us now are members of the HMS center for primary care student leadership committee, Galina Gheihman, Megan Townsend, and Andreas Mitchell. With the recent national focus on gun violence, the leadership council decided to hold an op-ed contest on the issue of gun violence. They are joining us today to talk about the contest with the winner, Mike Rose, and the students’ work on this important public health issue, and opportunities for advocacy as health professionals. Take a moment to read Mike’s winning op-ed, Do we love ducks more than we love children?

Be sure to tune in next week to hear from Dr. Mark Rosenberg about his time as Director of the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, his thoughts on the Dickey Amendment, and his unlikely friendship with Congressman Jay Dickey.
