It's back-to-school szn, and while some kids are stressing over earlier wake-ups, this year's incoming medical students have a bigger question to answer: how do you train for a career that could still have you practicing medicine in the 2070s, when the tools of medicine are changing so rapidly?For our back-to-school episode, we sat down with Stanford University School of Medicine Dean Dr. Lloyd Minor to talk about how AI is already reshaping what future doctors learn and how they're taught, as well as what's still not working in American healthcare.We cover:What medical students are actually being taught about AI, and where Stanford still draws the lineWhy Stanford's tumor boards no longer start with humansThe surprising way Dr. Minor thinks AI could level the playing field in healthcare accessWhy the same AI tools helping patients feel more informed are also making them more anxiousThe counterintuitive reason new medical technology gets more expensive before it gets cheaperWhat's still standing in the way of a vision for precision medicine that's been decades in the makingAbout our guest:Lloyd B. Minor, MD, is a scientist, surgeon, and academic leader. He is the Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine and Vice President for Medical Affairs at Stanford University. Dr. Minor also is a professor of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery and a professor of Bioengineering and of Neurobiology, by courtesy, at Stanford University.As dean, Dr. Minor has had an integral role in setting strategy for the clinical enterprise of Stanford Medicine, an academic medical center that includes the Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Health Care, and Stanford Medicine Children's Health. With his leadership, Stanford Medicine leads the biomedical revolution in Precision Health. His book, “Discovering Precision Health,” describes this shift to more preventive, personalized health care and highlights how biomedical advances are dramatically improving our ability to treat and cure complex diseases. In 2021, Dr. Minor articulated and began realizing a bold vision to transform the future of life sciences at Stanford University and beyond – a multi-decade journey enabled by Precision Health.In August 2023, Dr. Minor was appointed Vice President for Medical Affairs to lead all matters related to health and medicine at Stanford University.Before Stanford, Dr. Minor was provost and senior vice president for academic affairs of Johns Hopkins University. Prior to this appointment in 2009, Dr. Minor served as the Andelot Professor and director (chair) of the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and otolaryngologist-in-chief of The Johns Hopkins Hospital.With more than 160 published articles and chapters, Dr. Minor is an expert in balance and inner ear disorders perhaps best known for discovering superior canal dehiscence syndrome, a debilitating disorder characterized by sound- or pressure-induced dizziness. He subsequently developed a surgical procedure that corrects the problem and alleviates symptoms.In 2012, Dr. Minor was elected to the National Academy of Medicine.—
Organizations demand infinite growth in finite markets. Leaders are left at the crossroads of irreconcilable missions, balancing economic imperatives with the well-being of their teams. What happens when the equation simply has no solution? The cost of execution is sometimes your own breaking point.Welcome to Pharma Minds, Summer Series "Executing differently takes courage". For this final episode of our miniseries, I wanted to explore what execution reveals about oneself at the deepest level. I chose to speak with Patrice because his journey shows what it concretely costs to actually do what you said you would do. Execution eventually ceases to be a professional requirement. It becomes a personal decision to put skin in the game, without a safety net, but with singular intention. Patrice Zagame is the Founder and CEO of Eolias Health, an OTC lab for plant-based products aimed at the Brazilian market. After spending 35 years in the pharmaceutical industry and managing global subsidiaries for 16 years, he knows the weight of impossible contexts. From handling severe price cuts and sales force reductions in France to surviving executive burnout and ultimately funding his own venture, Patrice embodies the courage of leaving the comfort of a massive organization to truly walk the talk.In this episode, we cover:◾️The Impossible Equation : Balancing double-digit growth demands with saturated markets and massive price cuts.◾️Choice Versus Chance : Why letting an organization dictate your pace can cost you the most crucial turns in your career.◾️The Silent Break : Recognizing the boiling point of executive burnout and walking away to change the equation.◾️Managing the Smartest Room : Stepping back from ego to lead experts who know more than you do.◾️Walking the Talk : Leaving corporate security to fund an entrepreneurial venture from scratch.Commitment is not a corporate posture. It is a daily decision renewed in the face of impossible contexts. At some point, managing the system is no longer enough.

Let's go!Episode Highlights:Dr. Runge never planned to be a CEO, initially dismissing healthcare leaders before serendipity shaped his path.His personal hospital-at-home experience after hip surgery confirmed that recovery is faster, cheaper, and better at home.Ambient AI, which auto-generates clinical notes, is the one decision at Michigan Medicine that faced almost no dissent.America's top-tier quaternary care leads the world; the real crisis is access, not quality.AI can address the clinician shortage in a year or two, something traditional training pipelines need decades to solve.About our Guest:Marschall S. Runge, M.D., Ph.D., was born in Austin, Texas, and graduated from Vanderbilt University with a BA in General Biology and a PhD in Molecular Biology. He received his medical degree from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was a cardiology fellow and junior faculty member at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Runge's next position was at Emory University, where he directed the Cardiology Fellowship Training Program. He then moved to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where he was Chief of Cardiology and Director of the Sealy Center for Molecular Cardiology. He joined the University of North Carolina (UNC) from 2000 – 2014, where he served as Charles Addison and Elizabeth Ann Sanders Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Chair of the Department of Medicine, President of UNC Physicians and Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs.Dr. Runge is the former CEO of Michigan Medicine and Dean of the University of Michigan Medical School, and a practicing cardiologist. Dr. Runge is board-certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular diseases and has spoken and published widely on topics in clinical cardiology and vascular medicine.At the University of Michigan, Dr. Runge began serving as the executive vice president for medical affairs in March 2015 and, in January 2016, he was also appointed as the dean of the Medical School. He is the first person to serve in this combined position created by the Regents for the purpose of strengthening the integration between the Medical School and health care delivery in our hospitals and health centers.During his tenure in these leadership roles, Dr. Runge has implemented transformative change and positioned Michigan Medicine and the Medical School for continued success. Notable achievements during this period include: a significant expansion of Michigan Medicine's clinical network in the state, through integration of two health systems, the former Metro Health in Grand Rapids and Sparrow Health System in Lansing, multiple joint ventures with Trinity Health, launch of the Precision Health Initiative, a major research collaboration with several other U-M schools and colleges; oversight of the conclusion of the Victors for Michigan campaign which raised $1.5 billion dollars for institutional strategic priorities; and the development and implementation of Michigan Medicine's first strategic plan for diversity, equity and inclusion in support of the broader university-wide DEI initiative.Under Dr. Runge's leadership, the University of Michigan Health's adult hospitals were ranked best in Michigan in 2023-2024 in U.S. News & World Report “Best Hospitals” rankings, the 31st consecutive year that U-M Health has been nationally recognized for strong across-the-board performance. In Newsweek's 2024 ranking of America's Best Hospitals, U-M Health ranked #1 in the state and #3 in the country.Current and new initiatives under Dr. Runge's leadership include construction of the The D.

The FDA finalized its guidance on Scientific Information on Unapproved Uses (SIUU) in January 2025, giving pharmaceutical and biotech companies a framework for proactive off-label communication with healthcare providers. Yet many medical affairs organizations are still navigating what it means in practice. In this episode, Peg Crowley-Nowick, PhD, MBA talks with Josh Bryson, PhD, Head of U.S. Medical Affairs and Evidence Generation at Argenx, about the real-world implications for medical affairs strategy. Josh and Peg examine what the FDA guidance permits, the data integrity and publication requirements that must be in place, and how the shift from reactive to proactive scientific exchange changes HCP engagement. They also discuss how SIUU raises the bar for evidence generation, driving companies to think more deliberately about data quality, study design, and publication strategy in order to meet the criteria the guidance requires. Medical Science Liaisons and Medical Affairs leaders will find this conversation directly relevant to how they approach both field engagement and evidence planning. A practical conversation for medical affairs professionals looking to understand how the FDA off-label communication guidance reshapes communications strategy and the evidence needed to support it.
Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Before menopause, our risk of heart disease is HALF what a man's is. Within a few years of our last period, it is EQUAL. By our seventies, it is HIGHER. So why is nobody screening us for it? This is the conversation midlife women have been waiting for. I sat down with Dr. Jayne Morgan, a research cardiologist and Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart, who is calling out menopause itself as the most missed opportunity in preventive cardiology. She is the creator of the Stairwell Chronicles, a science communicator who translates complex cardiology into kitchen-table language, and she has spent 25+ years researching what is actually happening to our hearts in midlife. This is our fourth cardiologist on the show. And she is different. She brings the research, the data, and a fierce honesty about why our healthcare system was built around the male body, and what we do about it now. WE GO DEEP ON: • Why menopause is a CARDIOVASCULAR event, not a gynecologic footnote • The half / equal / greater stat that every midlife woman needs to memorize • The 37-minute delay women face in the ER for cardiac care, and the exact phrase that gets you seen • Why hot flashes, night sweats, palpitations, and brain fog are cardiovascular signals, not just inconveniences • What estrogen actually does for your heart and what happens when it drops, and the 10-year HRT window • Her take on statins, the online backlash, and what the research actually says about LDL • What to do if you tried a statin and felt terrible — • Why it is LDL AND insulin resistance AND inflammation — not one versus the other • The labs to demand: ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP, fasting insulin, CAC scan • Why women were excluded from cardiovascular clinical trials until 1993, and how that built the entire field on the wrong data • The exact advocacy phrase that gets your concern documented in your chart • Three things you can do this week that actually move the needle This is not a doom episode. This is the conversation you bring to your doctor tomorrow. TIMESTAMPS: • 00:00 — Why menopause is a cardiovascular event • 12:00 — The symptoms women miss and the 37-minute ER delay • 26:00 — Estrogen, HRT and the 10-year window • 42:00 — LDL, cholesterol and the statin debate • 54:00 — What to test, what to track, what to demand • 66:00 — Health equity and self-advocacy • 76:00 — Three things this week Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube Learn More About Dr. Jayne Morgan Instagram ➜ http://www.instagram.com/drjaynemorgan Website ➜ https://drjaynemorgan.com/ Hello Heart➜ https://www.helloheart.com/ Thank you to our show sponsors: LEELA QUANTUM: Get 10% off your first Leela Quantum order with the code NatalieJill at checkout at https://midlifeconversations.com/leela TIMELINE: Timeline is offering 20% off your order of Mitopure!

Medical affairs is at an inflection point. As science advances and healthcare professionals gain access to information in real time, medical teams face a mandate to deliver insight with greater speed, relevance and impact. In this episode of The Top Line, Josh Schwartz, Vice President of Medical Affairs, North America at BeOne Medicines, and Jalpa Shah, who leads the medical and evidence practice at ZS Pharma discuss what a modern medical affairs model requires. The conversation explores how the function is becoming a more strategic business driver and why traditional measures of activity are no longer enough to demonstrate value. The episode examines the structural challenges that continue to hold organizations back, including fragmented data systems, limited visibility into insights and the difficulty of translating engagement into measurable outcomes. It also looks at how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping workflows by helping teams generate insights faster, identify trends and inform next best actions. The discussion also considers the capabilities, operating models and cultural shifts medical affairs teams will need to keep pace with science and influence clinical practice. The central takeaway is clear: Future success will depend less on access to more data and more on the ability to turn intelligence into coordinated action.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heart disease is the number one killer of women. Not breast cancer. Not ovarian cancer. Heart disease. And yet most women — and many of their doctors — still don't recognize it in time. Why? Because heart disease in women doesn't look the way we've been taught. No crushing chest pain. No dramatic collapse. Instead: fatigue, jaw pain, nausea, GI upset. Symptoms so commonly dismissed as anxiety or perimenopause that women leave emergency rooms undiagnosed, undertreated, and in danger. Here's what I've learned after 29 years as a hockey mom: every year I hear about another hockey mom who died from a heart attack. Women in their 50s. Some healthy, some not. The message from their families is always the same — "it was out of nowhere" or "it was sudden." But after interviewing some of the country's best preventive cardiologists, I know the truth: heart attacks don't just show up. They've been brewing for years. No one looked. That changes today. Dr. Jayne Morgan is one of the country's leading cardiologists and a fierce advocate for women's cardiovascular health. As Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart, she has made it her life's mission to change the trajectory of women's heart health — and she is here to tell you exactly what to watch for, what to ask your doctor, and what to do right now to protect your heart through menopause and beyond. In this episode we cover: — Why heart disease is dramatically underdiagnosed in women — How menopause accelerates cardiovascular risk and why the transition window matters — The symptoms of heart disease in women that are routinely missed or dismissed — What a heart-healthy lifestyle actually looks like for postmenopausal women — The tests and screenings every woman over 40 needs to ask for — Why your risk profile changes after your last period — and what to do about it This is the conversation that could save your life. Share it with every woman you know.

Welcome to IDEA Collider with your host, Rick Ritacco. In this episode, we sit down with Sue Wood, a senior expert at IDEA Pharma with a PhD from Oxford and decades of experience translating complex scientific concepts into relevant narratives. Sue discusses the unique challenges biotechs face with early positioning, explaining why teams often struggle with the paradox of having immediate scientific certainty about a molecule but immense clinical uncertainty about its future. We explore how to simplify scientific messaging without "dumbing it down," and Sue shares three proven strategies: reappropriating non-pharma nomenclature, evolving familiar drug classes, and focusing on tangible clinical outcomes. Sue also highlights the importance of cross-functional alignment, noting that a team's conviction to execute a narrative often matters more than having absolute precision. Tune in to hear her hilarious origin story involving the Boston Globe and oat bran donuts, and learn actionable advice on what biotechs should immediately remove from their websites.

Today, we are talking about a true paradigm shift in prenatal genetics. For decades, we've relied on cell-free DNA for screening, but when it came to definitive confirmation of fetal aneuploidy, we've had to counsel our patients through the anxiety and physical risks of invasive procedures like amniocentesis and CVS. But what if the line between screening and confirmation just blurred? In this episode, we are diving into an avant-garde, first-of-its-kind maternal blood test that is now actively in clinical use and may prove to rival traditional invasive testing for fetal aneuploidy confirmation: the Unity CONFIRM test. To break down the cutting-edge science, the clinical validity, and exactly what this means for your daily practice, I am thrilled to welcome Jen Hoskovec, the Vice President of Medical Affairs for BillionToOne.

Host Polly Swingle is joined by Lauren Sauders, MOTR/L, CBIS, CSRS, and Vice President of Medical Affairs at Neurolutions, to talk about the IpsiHand device for stroke recovery.As an occupational therapist by training, Lauren has spent her entire career in adult neurorehabilitation. She began as a clinician at The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis, an affiliate of Washington University in St. Louis, where she worked alongside the research team that conceived IpsiHand in its earliest days. She helped author the initial study protocol and has grown with the company ever since - shepherding the technology through clinical trials, peer‑reviewed publications, and the regulatory pathway that earned IpsiHand both FDA Breakthrough Device designation and De Novo clearance. After clearance, she helped lead the organization through commercialization and into broader clinical adoption. Lauren has authored numerous publications and delivered presentations at national and international forums, but her most enduring focus is advocacy: ensuring that stroke survivors have evidence‑based access to therapies that meaningfully improve their quality of life. That mission is personal. Beyond the patients she has cared for, Lauren brought her grandmother into her own home during the COVID‑19 pandemic and cared for her after she sustained a severe stroke — an experience that deepened her understanding of the toll stroke takes on families as well as individuals. She is also a mother of three, including a child with a rare neurogenetic condition, and is a passionate advocate within the pediatric neuro-community as well. Her and her husband also share their home with three crazy dogs. When she isn't working or advocating, she can most often be found visiting family in Bermuda.Click the link below to visit the IpsiHand by Kandu website-https://www.neurolutions.com/Learn more about The Recovery Project!View our website at www.therecoveryproject.netCall us 855-877-1944 to become a patientFollow us on InstagramLike us on FacebookThanks for listening!

Menopause gets reduced to hot flashes, whispered about like it's a personal flaw, then brushed off in the exam room when symptoms don't fit a neat box. That silence has a cost. Cardiologist Dr. Jayne Morgan joins us to explain why menopause is a cardiovascular turning point, and why so many women feel dismissed with “normal labs” while their bodies are waving real warning flags.In this episode, we talk about an uncomfortable truth: many clinicians receive little to no menopause training, and it still isn't meaningfully reflected in many clinical guidelines. Dr. Morgan breaks down how that gap leads to fragmented care, in which palpitations, dizziness, bloating, joint pain, or even itchy ears are treated as separate mysteries rather than a connected syndrome. We also unpack how language like “atypical” chest pain can quietly lower urgency for women, even though heart disease remains the number one killer of women, and risk can rise sharply during perimenopause as estrogen declines.Connect with Dr. Morgan at· Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/FortyMIlionBeats/· Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjaynemorgan/· TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@DrJayneMorgan

At the 19th World Congress of the Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WCSA 2026) in Marrakesh, TopMedTalk welcomes Desiree Chappell back alongside Kate Leslie to interview Professor Palesa Motshabi-Chakane, Associate Professor and Head of Anaesthesiology at the University of the Witwatersrand and her colleague, Dr Mullai Slave a PhD candidate at University of the Witwatersrand. They discuss a study of 629 women undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, where 23–33% are HIV positive. Using standard monitoring plus BD APM noninvasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring, they compared HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients and found higher hypotension incidence in HIV-positive women (68% vs 64%), with lower heart rate and lower cardiac index over 60 minutes. Additional testing included echocardiography with speckle tracking, pro-BNP, and autonomic assessments, with HIV-positive patients showing stiffer ventricles; Apgar scores did not differ. They discuss replication, multicenter research, and potential machine-learning tools to predict hypotension risk, and describe BD Advanced Patient Monitoring grant support enabling equipment, sensors, staffing, and training (~200 staff) to complete data collection in about six months. Edwards Lifesciences is now known as Becton Dickinson Advanced Patient Monitoring (BD APM).

What if the decisions that determine your drug's commercial success are already being made and medical affairs isn't in the room? In this episode of Medical Affairs Unscripted, Peg Crowley speaks with Nick Sen, SVP and Practice Lead at Lumanity Medical Affairs Consulting, about the evolving role of medical affairs as a strategic driver in biotech and pharmaceutical development. Drawing on experience across academia, commercial strategy, and market access, Nick explains why early medical engagement is no longer optional even for resource-constrained biotech companies. Instead, it is a critical lever for improving clinical, regulatory, and commercial outcomes. They explore three core pillars of medical affairs impact: De-risking clinical development by shaping the Target Product Profile (TPP) with real-world clinical and stakeholder insight Accelerating regulatory approval through early investigator engagement, site selection, and improved trial enrollment Enabling market access and adoption by building an evidence strategy aligned with payer, provider, and patient needs As scientific innovation accelerates across cell therapies, gene therapies, and complex biologics biotech companies must move beyond a narrow focus on regulatory approval and design development programs for real-world adoption and value demonstration. This episode is essential for biotech executives, medical affairs leaders, and cross-functional teams looking to integrate medical strategy earlier in clinical development and strengthen the probability of successful commercialization.

When "Denied" Goes Viral: AI Claim Denials, TrumpRx, and America's Healthcare Trust Crisis The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series Thank you, I'm Paul Vogelzang. Today's episode is brought to you by Caraway. Good Looking. Clean Cooking. Have you ever stood at the pharmacy counter, card in hand, and heard one word: denied? For our listeners over 50, that moment isn't about inconvenience. It's blood pressure meds. It's insulin. It's the medication that keeps you steady, independent, and in your own life. And then comes the "solution": "Try a coupon." "Pay cash." "Use a marketplace." Behind that advice is a system that can feel like a black box—prior authorization, shifting formularies, and now, more and more, algorithms. AI can speed up decisions, but it can also shut a door without giving you a clear, human explanation. Now add the third ingredient: social media. A nonstop feed that can take real pain and turn it into a blame spiral—until people stop asking, "How do we fix this?" and start asking, "Who do we punish?" We've seen how fast outrage can spread, and how dangerous it can become when it's celebrated instead of cooled down. Today on The Not Old Better Show, we're connecting those dots—insurance hurdles, AI-driven denials, and the polarization that's eroding trust. Our guest is Dr. William Soliman, CEO of the Accreditation Council for Medical Affairs and a leading expert on pharma and health insurance. He'll explain TrumpRx—what it is, what it isn't, and why a discount price that doesn't count toward your deductible can backfire for seniors on multiple medications. We'll talk reform. We'll talk responsible tech. And we'll talk empathy—because healthcare can't run on anger. And it's never too late to insist on dignity at the doctor's office. Remember, support our sponsors: today's episode is brought to you by Caraway. Good Looking. Clean Cooking.
