The lively pulse of Primary Care (with a PA spin) in an entertaining, monthly podcast.

We see “ALL: PCN” all the time. But how often is it true? And why does it matter? Neda sits down with Dr. Torie Grant, a Med/Peds Allergist and Immunologist at Johns Hopkins, to learn all about the risks attached to a penicillin allergy label and some easy approaches to debunking this allergy in the primary care setting. 

Can HIV be managed in the primary care setting? With today’s advances in antiretroviral therapy, the answer is yes. Infectious Diseases physician Dr. Devang Patel sits down with Miz and Neda for a conversation about the latest developments in HIV treatment.

Why does storytelling in medicine matter? How can it impact our lives, and the care we provide our patients, for the better? In this segment, Neda sits down with Dr. Emily Silverman, academic hospitalist at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and creator and host of The Nocturnists, to learn more about the role of narrative medicine in our work and wellbeing.

In this segment, Dr. Sandra Quezada teaches Tom and Neda about the importance of specific health maintenance components in the care of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
