Endocrinology: the Science Behind Hormones with Dr. Olga Astapova | Premed eShadowing Ep. 105
I chatted with Dr. Olga Astapova. She is an endocrinologist who focuses her research on polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) and genetic mutations causing diabetes. Dr. Ostapova shares the challenges endocrinologists face when working with insurance companies to get pre-authorizations for testing and medications for patients, and the impact that these tests and medications can have on quality of life. Finally, she shares the need for more physicians in the field, as many patients wait months for an opening with an endocrinologist.
Every Tuesday at 4 pm ET (with replays afterward), eShadowing will bring you a new physician to talk about their profession, offer a case presentation, and give their time for Q&A.
