  • Love this podcast!

    EM physician, about to take addiction medicine boards. This podcast is exactly what I needed! I love the holistic approach, a combination of rigorous academics and practical information. I’ve already adopted several clinical pearls from this podcast that I’m using with my patients. To me, binging this podcast is like attending a year’s worth of high-quality fellowship didactics in a couple months.
