Your Checkup
We are THE patient education medical podcast, delivering engaging discussions on health topics straight from the doctor's office to your ears. Think of this as health class, except you aren't in grade school, and your teachers are a family medicine doctor and a pediatric nurse. Our goal? To bridge the gap between medicine and patients while keeping you entertained. Tune in to learn something new about health—for yourself, your loved ones, or your neighbors.
