Cervical Cancer Awareness with Dr. Sharan Abdul-Rahman

January was Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and though it is now January, we could not pass up the opportunity to talk about this wholly preventable cancer. In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Sharan Abdul-Rahman, an OB/GYN and the Founder of the The Black Woman's Health Directory, a directory that lists black male and female healthcare providers including physicians, therapists, and even midwives. Dr. Abdul-Rahman breaks everything down, from the reasoning behind and the need for the Pap smear to the importance of considering vaccination against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in order to prevent development of cervical cancer.  Ladies enjoy gentlemen, enjoy the program and please share this information with anyone that will listen because this is truly life saving information!
