Welcome to the 2 Minute Medicine® Podcast, summarizing the latest medical studies, curated and written by practicing physicians. On this podcast, twice a month, we cover the latest in healthcare news and research evidence.
We begin this episode by discussing our two articles of the week. Our first article of the week comes from JAMA network and is entitled “Evaluation of faculty parental leave policies at medical schools ranked by the US News and World Report in 2020.” Our second article of the week comes from the New England Journal of Medicine and is entitled “Psychosocial functioning in transgender youth after 2 years of hormones.”
In the second half of our episode, we bring a medical eye to popular events. We begin with a discussion about Sara Björk’s tumultuous endeavors with her former soccer club during her pregnancy and delve deeper into paid maternity leave and the effects it can have on infant and maternal health outcomes. Further, we take a closer look at ChatGPT and why it has been making headlines, discuss safe recommendations for alcohol consumption in light of Canada’s new drinking guidelines and cover the measles outbreak in Ohio and the impact that this disease has had globally!
