Welcome to Medical Matters! Today we are joined by Dr. Carrie Bedient, a renowned Reproductive Endocrinologist and OB/GYN who shares her thoughts on a field stirring up a great deal of interest (and controversy) among scientists and politicians alike. It is known as Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART for short), and it encompasses the likes of in-vitro fertilization, artificial wombs, and uterine transplants, to name a few. Join us for a fascinating exploration of its origins, present state, and imminent future, and what that means for us as people, patients, and providers.

Welcome to "Medical Matters"! We're a new podcast aiming to discuss all kinds of interesting topics in healthcare and medicine, while bringing on expert guests to share their stories and perspectives to all our benefit, all hosted by a couple of medical students: Kendahl Servino and Sunil Sathappan.

Join us for our first episode, featuring a local celebrity geneticist, Dr. Joe Grzymski, the PI and mind behind the Healthy Nevada Project (our nation's largest genetic health study). It was a fascinating conversation that led us on a journey to discussing the future of genetic research and its consequences for patients, providers, and the public interest.
