Show Notes

An interview with Dr. Renee Rogers, Senior Scientist, University of Kansas Medical Center.


So I think a big, really important first step is to talk to the patient on the medication currently that you're working with to say, I want to know when something changes. If your dose changes, if you start to experience more side effects, I can't directly change any of that that you're going through, but I want you to be able to communicate those things with me because I have the ability to change your program to reflect that.
