59 - COVIDCast #10 - Improving Prenatal and Postpartum Care In the Era of COVID




The Penn HealthX Podcast show

Summary: This episode was created for The Perelman School of Medicine’s online Health Systems curriculum for second-year clerkship students. In it, third-year medical student Casey Kim (who was previously featured on the Podcast for her work with POHPS and creating COVIDigests) and I interview Dr. Anna Graseck and Dr. Kirstin Leitner, who are both Ob/Gyn physicians. They tell us more about the THEA program for blood pressure monitoring in prenatal patients, and the Healing at Home program which performs virtual postpartum follow-up appointments. We discuss how the programs have had to adapt during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what they’ve learned in the last few months. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Dr. Anna Graseck and Dr. Kirstin Leitner.
