Hungry Healthcare Provider
by Caitlin Curtis, PharmD, BCNSP
Hungry Healthcare Provider will cover relevant nutrition support topics by hosting experts in the field as well as having periodic discussions answering questions from listeners. All healthcare providers are "hungry": both literally, because we are too busy to eat lunch (!), and we are always hungry for more knowledge so we can provide the best care for our patients.
