Welcome. I'm Dr. Vinay Prasad. I'm a hematologist, oncologist, and I'm associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. In my professional life, I see patients, I teach trainees, and I do research in health care policy. This is plenary session. Plenary session is a

podcast at the intersection of medicine, oncology, and health policy, and you're listening to

Season 3. On this week's episode, this is a special bonus episode of plenary session. I'm with

Dr. Hilary Seligman and we're talking about the National Clinical Scholars Program

whose application is due this week.

You want to listen to this discussion, and if you're a resident or fellow finishing up your

I'm back in plenary session, joined via Zoom by Dr. Hilary Seligman.

And Dr. Seligman is a professor of medicine of the University of California, San Francisco,

program that you are literally launching any day now.
