Dr. Dava Szalda is the guest in this episode, answering questions from our AYA hosts. Dr. Szalda is an oncologist who cares for patients at both CHOP and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). She sees patients through their transition from pediatric to adult healthcare – a change that takes them from under the watchful eye of mom and dad to a new world where independence and self-advocacy is key.
