First, medical students Allie Berges and Neha Anand begin with a news update on the election results, specifically Biden’s healthcare plan. What will his presidency bring for policies on COVID-19, access to health insurance, and climate change? Fellow students Sara Wallam and Alyssa Kretz break down gender-based violence as a public health issue, and how this has been impacted by recent policies and even the pandemic.
