No Ordinary Subjects
Welcome to 'No Ordinary Subjects,' a new health, medicine, and clinical research-focused podcast with a mission of shining a bright light on overlooked issues and underrepresented perspectives. Here, we aim to explore the facets and implications of diversity, equity and inclusion from the perspectives of all stakeholders. From those providing care across specialties, to individuals working tirelessly to bring new therapies to market, and the medical heroes who decide to participate in clinical trials. Whether patients or healthy volunteers— just don't call us "subjects!" Guests are the extraordinary humans in every sector of this ecosystem who are making progress possible for the rest of us. Join me on this collective journey toward better outcomes — for ALL. Feedback and suggestions for podcast topics and guests are welcome! Please share the links with those you care about, and subscribe to catch every episode on your favorite platform. Thanks in advance! #beyondlipservice
