Public health and clinical medicine are often thought of as similar. However, they have different objectives where public health is driven by population level thinking and clinical medicine is concerned with individual well-being. What happens when those two objectives are at cross purposes? Join Michael Mina, MD, PhD, for a discussion with Meaghan Kennedy, MPH, as they explore the intersection between public health and clinical medicine. In particular, reflecting on the case study of Dr. Mina's pandemic-long quest to frame rapid tests as a public health tool aimed at stopping transmission, rather than a diagnostic tool for individual medical care.
