Description

Leana Wen, MD, MSc, shares her opinions on what health policy issues to watch in 2023. Dr. Wen, an emergency physician and professor of health policy and management at George Washington University, weighs in on vaccine hesitancy around routine childhood immunizations (polio, measles, etc.), the overdose epidemic, marijuana and adolescent development—as well as making contact sports safer to reduce severe brain injuries like CTE and concussions in youth sports. American Medical Association CXO Todd Unger hosts.

Dr. Leana Wen is also a CNN medical analyst and op-ed columnist for The Washington Post, where she writes a weekly column and anchors the Post newsletter, "The Checkup with Dr. Wen". Find her latest articles here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/leana-s-wen/
