Healthy Intersections: Recent Episodes
The Medical Care Blog
TL;DR? Healthy Intersections is the official podcast for The Medical Care Blog and Medical Care journal! Episodes feature audio capsule summaries of our posts and articles at the intersection of medical care and public health. We also feature interviews with blog and journal contributors and others in public health and healthcare.
The Medical Care Blog is an academic, non-profit, volunteer-run blog sponsored by the peer-reviewed journal Medical Care and the Medical Care Section of the American Public Health Association. Our listeners, readers, and contributors care about medical care, the healthcare system, and the health policies and public health issues that intersect with these areas.
This month, we talk with Dr. Amanda Onwuka, a social epidemiologist and health services researcher at RTI International, as well as Jeremy Ney, author of American Inequality. We discuss the epidemic of drug overdose deaths in the US, mental health, and opioid prescribing rates, along with multi-level interventions aimed at preventing addiction and overdoses in the first place.

Exercises are designed to challenge medical teams to work under pressure and problem solve according to conditions presented in the exercise scenario. A benefit of medical exercises in the military is that they facilitate integrating the public health team with medical providers and other supporting agencies on the base and in the community through regular training, which carries over to real-world partnerships when actual public health emergencies arise.
