Behavioral health (BH) clinicians who provide clinical supervision often lack formal training for primary care settings, and there is little formal support in their practice settings, which can lead to isolation. There is not yet a uniform approach to providing professional development in primary care supervision. In one of my latest publications in The Clinical Teacher , I share findings from our work that aims to improve that process, by enhancing training and connection among behavioral healt

I was covering for Dr. Kim the other day. A 60-something diabetic who had started taking insulin a few months ago had left a message that she wanted to change from Novolog (insulin aspart) to Humalog (insulin lispro) because she had just had her second UTI (urinary tract infection). And she had just read that UTI is listed as a side effect of Novolog but not of Humalog.

Low thyroid hormone is more common than many realize.

Especially if you are also struggling with low energy, cold hands and feet, or thinning hair. It’s important to understand that thyroid medication is not the only option.

The grafts treat severe dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, or EB, a genetic condition in which the skin is so fragile the slightest touch can cause blistering and wounds, eventually leading to large, open lesions that never heal and are immensely painful.
