The Neurophilia Podcast
Neurophobia is "the fear of neural sciences and clinical neurology" that is often experienced by medical students and young healthcare professionals. The Neurophilia Podcast is our attempt to help dispel the growing issue of neurophobia in the medical community. We engage in meaningful, interdisciplinary conversations with leading physicians to better connect neurology with other fields of medicine. Our hope is that with each episode, our listeners learn to appreciate, and perhaps even develop a love, for clinical neurology. Hosted by Dr. Nupur Goel, Neurology Resident at Mass General Brigham, and Dr. Blake Buletko, Program Director of Cleveland Clinic's Adult Neurology Program.
