Customer Reviews
Most helpful podcast!
I have been listening to the Curbsiders religiously since PA school. As a newer primary care PA, I can’t express what a helpful resource it has been to go back and listen to specific topics. I appreciate the show notes and the ability to reference them in clinic after listening to the podcast. The structure and content of this podcast makes it helpful for individuals at any stage of their career! Bonus star for Philly-based hosts.
Absolutely awesome!
I have been listening to your podcast since you were producing number 40 something and always learn so much! I am a pulmonary critical care dietitian who also teaches the medical residents, nurse and dietetic interns. I pull your show notes as well as share links to your podcasts with the ICU residents and staff as well as our transplant services as they apply to patient cases and diagnoses. THANK YOU for this as well as your family of podcasts!
Obesity medicine episode
Paramedic here. What a fantastic and accessible episode from Dr. Fatima. Curbsiders did an amazing job finding and booking her. Learned so much and really think this will help me to contextualize the patients I see and some of the medications they list off. Thank you team.
