Maternal-fetal medicine fellow Frank I. Jackson discusses his article "Affordable postpartum hemorrhage solutions every OB/GYN should know." Frank explains how postpartum hemorrhage remains a leading cause of maternal mortality, especially in low-resource settings where advanced devices like the JADA® System are inaccessible. He introduces two innovative, low-cost techniques—FOCUS (Foley catheter for uterine suction) and STUT (suction tube uterine tamponade)—that replicate the life-saving mechanism of expensive devices but with tools found in nearly every labor ward. Frank shares evidence from recent clinical trials, describes practical steps for implementation, and emphasizes why every obstetric provider should learn these methods. Listeners will gain actionable knowledge on how to apply simple, affordable interventions that can save lives globally.

Medical student Devin Behjatnia discusses his article "The case for a standard pre-med major in U.S. universities." Devin outlines why he believes a unified pre-medical studies major would better prepare students for the rigor of medical school while also providing a valuable degree for those who choose alternative medical careers. He explains how the curriculum could balance core sciences, general education, and community-focused learning, drawing on the roots of the physician as both healer and teacher. Devin shares a detailed four-year plan, including science prerequisites, humanities, foreign language, and MCAT preparation, designed to produce well-rounded, patient-centered physicians. Listeners will learn how this proposed approach could strengthen medical education and ensure future doctors are not only skilled clinicians but also pillars of their communities.
