    McGill Journal of Medicine (MJM) MedTalks is a Podcast series where members of the medical and health science communities from McGill and beyond are interviewed on topics related to career, research, advocacy, and more. The aim of MedTalks is to open a space where experienced professionals and researchers can share information and advice for trainees in healthcare and medical sciences. In this episode, Renée-Claude Bider, MJM Podcast Team Member and second year medical student at the University of Ottawa interviews guest-experts Dr. Jeyashree Kathiresan, doctor and researcher at the Indian Council of Medical Research, National Institute of Epidemiology, and faculty member at the Field of Epidemiology Training Program, master’s in public health course, and Dr. Jonathan Campbell, PhD and assistant professor with the Department of Medicine at McGill, epidemiologist, and health economist specializing in economic evaluation and epidemiological analysis of infectious disease.
