We start this week's episode by covering some recent research: After thoroughly critiquing the recent randomized trial of hydroxychloroquine for postexposure prophylaxis for COVID-19, we then discuss the five abstracts selected for plenary sessions at the recent virtual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. We transition from there to a Question from a Medical Student with Audrey Tran of Oregon Health & Science University on the recent decision to make the USMLE Step 1 exam pass/fail. Finally, we end with an interview with Dr. Jane Zhu, also of OHSU, on her current research and her new paper published in JAMA titled, "Private Equity Acquisitions of Physician Medical Groups Across Specialties, 2013-2016". Dr. Zhu first guest-starred on Plenary Session in episode 1.31.
