Interdisciplinary
Interdisciplinary is Healwell's healthcare podcast about all the places and perspectives that lift us up. We say what other people aren't willing to say and we always say the quiet parts loud.You’ll always learn something. You’ll always laugh and you’ll come away better informed and with real things you can do in your own community and practice to create a more compassionate and collaborative system of care for all humans.
