PAPAYA MVA WORKSHOP:

This MVA (Manual Vacuum Aspiration) Papaya Workshop, held as part of 黄瓜视频鈥檚 Primary Care Week and supported by the 黄瓜视频 Reproductive Health Institute, is designed to teach students about the integral role of abortion access in women’s primary care. In collaboration with the FIU pre-med 黄瓜视频 chapter and HWCOM 黄瓜视频 chapter, this workshop is led by Dr. Chelsea Daniels, a dedicated advocate with Physicians for Reproductive Health.

The workshop utilizes papayas as anatomical models to provide students with hands-on experience in performing the MVA procedure, a technique commonly used for early pregnancy management and miscarriage care.

ECONOMIC INJUSTICE IN HEALTHCARE: LOWERING PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES (VIRTUAL):

鈥淏ig Pharma rang in the new year with a gift to itself: higher prices and bigger profits on over 200 prescription drugs. Drug corporations are congratulating themselves for keeping most hikes under 10 percent, but let鈥檚 be clear: for most hard working Americans, the household budget isn鈥檛 growing by 10, or even five percent this year. The upshot? Another year of higher co-pays and out-pocket costs, and another year of having to choose between taking on debt or paying for drugs we need.
These data tell the hard truth: our current system for prescription drugs is on an unsustainable path for everyone鈥搖nless you鈥檙e a drug company shareholder or C-suite exec. We must demand our elected leaders take action before another year goes by, and with it, another round of price gouging. Band-aid fixes like importing from other countries won鈥檛 cut it. And following the House鈥檚 passage of H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Prices Act, inaction from the Senate and White House is unconscionable. We need comprehensive, meaningful reform, and we need it now. American lives and livelihoods are on the line.鈥�1
