StudioTulsa Medical Monday: A Conversation with Medical Writer Bret Stetka

Aired on Monday, October 31st.

On this edition of StudioTulsa Medical Monday, we speak with Bret Stetka, a health, science, and medical writer who works as an Editorial Director for Medscape by WebMD, and who is also a contributor to both Scientific American and Shots (the NPR Health blog). Stetka talks about how and why he decided, after completing his med-school training, to pursue medical journalism rather than, say, some sort of doctoring or medical research. He also speaks with us in detail about certain of his recent articles, including "Can Mental Illness Be Prevented In The Womb?" and "Cancer Immunotherapy At A Crossroads." You can access these articles, and others, at Bret's Twitter feed.
