    Podcast 19: “More Than Just Knowledge: The Humility, Creativity, & Care it Takes to Be an Academic Detailer”

    Being a successful detailer is about so much more than conveying good evidence, or reaching the most clinicians. Come and chat with Vishal Kinkhabwala, MD, MPH, a Training Consultant and Expert Facilitator at NaRCAD, as he drops wisdom nuggets about the importance of camaraderie, deep listening, being of service, building rapport, and approaching clinicians as "just a new friend I haven't met yet." Vishal shares his experiences as a detailer in the area of infectious disease prevention, his tips for building relationships, and the importance of true presence, not "acting like you're listening." A great episode to tune into for new and veteran detailers alike, and anyone who wants to learn more about the impact of 1:1 clinical outreach education visits in clinicians' own frontline environments.

    Podcast Episode 17: "Public Health Ain't No Drag: Serving Up Patient Care Realness in Performance Spaces"

    For patients who don't feel safe inside the clinic, how can we bring the best of public health outreach to them? Join us for the tea on how to interweave public health initiatives into artistic spaces where community members feel safe, seen, and understood. Zack Jenio, Program Manager of Mile High Behavioral Health in Denver, Colorado, who also hails as Drag Queen Dr. Zacharina Jenny-hoe, discusses the impact of meeting patient needs by bringing harm reduction, including HIV prevention tools and naloxone, to performance spaces. We also discuss challenges queer patients face in primary care clinics where trust can be unintentionally eroded by stigma; the allure of drag as a celebration of femininity and glamour; and the ways that clinicians can start thinking creatively about patient needs, identity, and access to care--OUTSIDE of the traditional healthcare space.
