Dr. Kirtly Parker Jones speaks with Dr. Melissa McNeil, professor of medicine and director of the Comprehensive Women's Health Program at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. McNeil suggests some things physicians could do to break through specialization silos and discusses some general female health concerns that both internists and female patients should better understand.
