Welcome to Voices from Healthcare! I’m Jonathan Palmer, a Greek-American studying Kinesiology with a concentration in pre-med. I wish to bring innovation within the medical field and to further encourage the physician-patient relationship. Join me every other week as I learn how to relate to the patient, take medical direction from my mentors, and gain a first-hand perspective of how medicine is practiced from the other side of the curtain. Although this podcast seeks to be informative, information discussed cannot be taken in place of medical advice. Episodes released every other week Tuesdays at 5 AM EST.
