Watch the presentation on our Youtube channel - https://lnkd.in/e2bkdSWK In this fascinating and lively presentation for IMMH 2023, Dr. Mather and Dr. Podesta illustrate on a case by case basis the way they interact on a patient’s care, bringing their unique and separate approaches to bear, and showing how the power of their collaboration yields much better results than when they work alone.
