Brandon and Bryan on Stabilizing

Brandon and Bryan are stabilizers.  Their  nature is stabilizing in a variety of academic and virtual settings.  In addition to their individual clinical and academic work, together they founded Critical Care Scenarios in 2019,  a podcast dedicated to scenario-based critical care training.  Their podcast aims to develop a practical, hands-on understanding of the management of critically ill patients through the medium of “talked through” verbal scenarios, presented biweekly in an informal podcast format.
