Provider shortages in any field are problematic for a myriad of reasons, the main one being access. Without access, it is extremely difficult to receive timely care. A program called BeHERENV was created to address this issue.

Research shows that a novel pill helped people with advanced pancreatic cancer live longer, raising hopes of long-needed better treatments for one of the deadliest types of cancer. The drug is called daraxonrasib and it blocks a mutated protein that fuels tumor growth in more than 90% of pancreatic cancer cases — a target that had eluded treatment for decades.

Study comes amid growing calls to end the seasonal practice of changing clocks in the U.S.

Scott McDonald and Dr. Nathan Hollister — co-founders of Circus Meets Medicine and ���ӽ紫ý Consortium of Arts + Medicine — joined us with the details on their Circus Meets Medicine Medical Conference.

Results from a late-stage clinical trial of the pill daraxonrasib offer new hope for a notoriously deadly disease, doctors say.

Sampling sewage lines directly serving healthcare facilities allows scientists to identify drug-resistant fungus strains of candida auris (C. auris) five months before patient symptoms emerge.

Sampling wastewater near hospitals and care facilities can detect a deadly, drug-resistant fungus up to five months before patients show symptoms, according to new ���ӽ紫ý research.

Daylight saving time isn’t just an annoyance, it may also be bad for your mental and physical health. That’s according to a major new study by a team of researchers from New Mexico State University’s College of Health, Education and Social Transformation and the ���ӽ紫ý’s Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine.

The origin of the term “paramedic” is from the military. Medics, often called corpsmen, were trained to care for injured military personnel in the battlefield setting and in field hospitals. Despite the rumors, the term paramedic had nothing to do with parachutes. It simply meant that they were “non-doctors” (paraprofessionals) who provided medical care in the military setting.

Local educational institutions, like ���ӽ紫ý’s Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine, will offer residencies at Comprehensive for graduating physicians.
