Feature Quote

“The doctor that we have in the fellowship is an emergency department trade doctor who has worked in the ED for 24 years but now she decided she wants to actually do some kind of self-specialization in addiction. So those are the kind of people we open the door for. They have the interest but they don't have the training.
