Hamburg outlines the new goals being set fourth for the FDA while she also points out the new challenges that will be faced. She discusses how FDA will "rely on the media" to help keep their regulations in check, which I think is an honorable thing to admit in itself. Her recognition of the nations previous concerns with the FDA is encouraging. Finally, she claims how new technology and the evolved review process will help eliminate those concerns. Awesome.

Go Dr. Hamburg:) I think there will be many difficulties that Hamburg will face, especially within the FDA itself. I can't imagine bartering efforts decreasing, and I especially can't imagine an FDA void of personal agendas. Regardless, I can't wait to see how this unfolds. SUPPORT THE END TO FREE-USE OF INVESTIGATIONAL DRUGS! Consequently, I hope the FDA also designs a method allowing more individuals to research drugs being investigated within the FDA, as to not shortchange anyone of something beneficial.
