OCRA’s Survivors Teaching Students® (STS) program was recently highlighted on St. Louis Public Radio’s St. Louis on the Air in an episode titled “How Ovarian Cancer Survivors are Helping Educate Medical Students.”
The discussion featured Drs. Andrea and Ian Hagemann alongside OCRA’s STS volunteers Catherine Mikolay and Joan Gummels. Together, they shared how this powerful program connects ovarian cancer survivors with healthcare students, offering unique, firsthand insights that textbooks cannot provide.
