This episode of STI Research Roundup when I will present a study done in Massachusetts that describes the individual and clinic-level factorsassociated with delays in gonorrhea treatment. I’ll be joined by a special guest, Kelly Palm, FNP-C, Director of Health Services at Westfield State University in Massachusetts, to help me discuss the article.
[Note: Many important links have been purged by the Trump/Musk administration since late Jan., 2025 so something referenced in the episode may no longer be available.]
