Episode 12: At some point, all of us will have patients with some form of depression/anxiety. Depression in children is at an all time high, especially among the adolescent population. As healthcare providers, we cannot ignore the signs. Believe it or not, there is not enough training on depression/anxiety outside of general diagnosis and prevention. We must know how to handle difficult conversations regarding pediatric depression in order to make a difference in the lives of so many. Join us today as we tackle the topic of depression in children.Check us out on Instagram!

Episode 6: Dr. Shawn Neff is BACK with Part 3 of our series on saying goodbye to patients. Remember back in episodes 3 and 5, sometimes we do this because a patient is either doing well and no longer needs our care or maybe co-management with another provider is the next step. In this episode, we talk about the “not-so-fun” reasons. Maybe your treatment options aren’t working, so now we need to try something else? Maybe the patient has a condition outside of your scope or something potentially life threatening that needs to be referred out immediately? Whatever the case may be, we need to be able to handle this with poise and confidence. We need to understand when and where this is acceptable. We need to be prepared. Check us out on Instagram!

Episode 5: Let’s be honest…..patients need more than just us. They need a group of solid healthcare providers with a common goal of providing them with optimal care (REMEMBER EPISODE 4?!?). In Episode 5, we dive a little deeper into what co-management looks like, why it helps patients, and why it’s something you need to make sure you’re doing efficiently in your practice. Sometimes, something walks through your doors that’s just not meant for you to handle! Then what?Check us out on Instagram!
