Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell

Joining me today are two wonderful colleagues that I've worked with for nearly 25 years.

Wes Citrone, who is a clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York, and Christoph Korjel, who is a professor of psychiatry and molecular medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra Norwell in New York, New York, and professor and chair of child and adolescent psychiatry at the Charité University in Berlin, Germany.

Today, we're going to discuss...

the daily impact and burden of bipolar depression, FDA-approved pharmacologic treatments for bipolar depression, selecting an evidence-based treatment for bipolar depression, modifying treatment plans for people with bipolar depression, and a multidisciplinary team collaboration and co-management, helping to improve the care of people with bipolar depression.

But if there's something that, you know, this is, this is nerve damage, understanding which nerves may be involved, and then, and choosing the appropriate therapy to help address the nerve damage or the nerve dysfunction, if you will.

And as the program director for Pain Medicine Fellowship at Hofstra Northwell, we touched on this a little bit too, but you're directly shaping the next generation of pain specialists.

So I'm curious to know, what do you look for specifically in the physicians that you train, and what do you most really want them to carry forward?

Yeah.
