In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Sandro Galea, Dean and Robert A. Knox Professor at Boston University School of Public Health. We discussed his extensive career, spanning numerous disciplines including clinical medicine, global health, and public health research with a focus on epidemiology and trauma. Our brief conversation touched on the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to understanding health, the commercial determinants of health, lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the role of health in public discourse.

Conversation with Dr. David Walton

Healthcare is constantly evolving, from the way we develop lifesaving treatments to how care is delivered. There's no better example of this than during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to make our healthcare system more affordable, accessible, and high-quality for all, it is important to better understand how the system currently works and can be improved in addition to new ideas to promote our own health and wellbeing. In the Understanding Healthcare podcast, Sam Feudo speaks with leaders in academia, business, and government about the most important healthcare issues of our time.
