Guest: Rozalina G. McCoy, M.D., M.S. (@RozalinaMD)

Host: Amit K. Ghosh, M.D. (@AmitGhosh006)

Diabetic research starts with understanding contemporary treatment practices (overtreatment and undertreatment, misuse or underuse of glucose-lowering medications, comparative effectiveness of different diabetes medications), the resulting impact on patient health and the disparities in both treatment practices and outcomes. In this episode Rozalina McCoy, M.D., M.S., associate professor of medicine and consultant in the Division of Community Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic’s Rochester campus, joins us to discuss developing care delivery models that support high-quality, evidence-based, patient-centered, and equitable diabetes care.
