The Healthcare Hub Podcast HealthcareHub Podcast

Creating the Healthcare Hub podcast was an intellectually stimulating endeavour. We had the privilege of connecting with leaders throughout the healthcare industry, whose stories and words of wisdom resonated with us in each episode. Through their narratives, we were able to gain insight into the various motivations that drive individuals to pursue careers in healthcare. For many, their passion for the field was palpable, with many describing how the opportunity to serve their communities and make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Others shared their excitement about the evolving nature of healthcare, with the constant adaptation and drive towards improvement being a source of inspiration.

As we reflect on the journey we've taken together throughout this series, we are struck by the vastness of the healthcare system. From the latest advancements in medical research and healthcare technology, to the process of commercializing new medicines, to the challenges facing government and public institutions in delivering sustainable models of care, we have delved into a diverse range of topics.

Thank you for being a listener. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for joining us on this journey.

Hey Everyone!

We're back with a new guest from a new industry in Episode 22! This time around we met with Amanda Daley, the Head of Medical at Canopy Growth, one of Canada’s leading cannabis producers with a focus on research, product development and innovative production capabilities. Amanda’s role includes all Canadian commercial medical activities for Spectrum Therapeutics, the medical division of Canopy Growth, including overseeing sales & marketing, and the creation and implementation of continuing medical education (CME) programs for healthcare professionals. 

With other previous experience in the pharmaceutical industry at Solvay and Pfizer, Amanda brought some great insights on how education can be used to drive uptake of new products, along with how she shook the stigma of jumping from pharmaceuticals to medical cannabis, where she sees the industry headed in the future, and other fun tales from Canopy Growth!

Before we jump into the interview, Tyler brings forward some new research breakthroughs from the field of developing animal organs for use in human transplants. We certainly learned about some interesting new topics this time around and we can't wait for you to join us!
