Dr. Mark Donowitz, LeBoff Professor of Medicine and director of the Center for Epithelial Disorders at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, as well as immediate past-president of the American Gastroenterological Association, discusses some of the barriers and challenges physician-scientists face, and how we can ensure a sound future for research. Dr. Mark DeLegge hosts.
