Great new source of O&P knowledge!
I listened to the first episode of the new O&P podcast from AAOP on my morning commute and loved it! What a great way to get a deeper discussion about research within the field and hear from the authors directly. What a perfect way to be productive and gain some additional knowledge during my drive! Thanks for putting this content out there AAOP and Dr. Gard.
