President and CEO of AdvaMed Scott Whitaker catches up with Dr. Steve Hahn. Before Hahn was the head of FDA, he worked as a medical oncologist, served as a commander in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, managed research for the NIH, and was appointed as the Chief Medical Executive of MD Anderson Cancer Center — all before he was nominated, confirmed, and sworn in as the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration in late 2019. Whitaker and Hahn cover many topics, including Dr. Hahn’s time as head of FDA during the worst pandemic in a century.
