GUESTS: (More complete biographical info on my guests are below Source links.)

Dr. Janice Werbinski, MD, ObGyn, is the Executive Director an for the Sex and Gender Women’s Health Collaborative (www.sgwhc.org), a national organization of women’s health clinicians. Her organization is trying to influence the way physicians, pharmacists, and other healthcare workers are educated to take care of women patients. This is about equity in the way we research, and apply research, to women patients. It is not about LGBT or sexual medicine.Physician from Kalamazoo, Michigan,
