Eric J. Topol, MD: Hello. I'm Eric Topol, editor-in-chief of Medscape, and we've got a great conversation today with Dr Jen Gunter.

Topol: I thought I'd start out with your time in Canada. You were at University of Manitoba, University of Western Ontario, and then you came to the United States. What was going on back then?

I think there were only two programs at the time in the States, and only the University of Kansas was willing to help me with my visa, so that is where I went and how I ended up in Kansas City. Topol: You also trained in pain medicine? Gunter: Yes. I thought when I was going to do infectious diseases that it would all be toxic shock syndrome and HIV, and maybe HPV-related conditions.
