In this two-part episode, David Skorton, MD, AAMC president and CEO, talks with Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and Rep. Donna Shalala (D-Fla.) about how health care policy will change for patients, the research community, and the workforce in the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Episode Guest:Rep. Donna Shalala (D-Fla.) is an advocate for women’s rights, civil rights, increased access to health care, better education and public schools, and a clean and sustainable environment. She is the longest-serving secretary of health and human services in U.S. history, and in April, Rep. Shalala was appointed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to serve on the five-member COVID-19 Congressional Oversight Commission. The commission was created by the CARES Act to provide oversight of the law’s spending and financial programs.
