Given the current events in Lebanon, Lebanese physicians working there have been in the news extensively lately. Some have chosen to leave in search of a more stable life; some have chosen to stay, and some have chosen not to move back to Lebanon in the first place. We will interview Lebanese physicians working in Lebanon and beyond to get their opinions about the events taking place in Lebanon, the future of medicine in Lebanon, and the role Lebanese physicians play worldwide in their respective fields, and their connections to their home county. We will highlight success stories, stories that were not so successful, and everything in between. Medical students, physicians-in-training, and attending physicians at different points in their careers will be interviewed. We hope you will find this podcast beneficial and exciting!

Tune in to our newest episode of The Lebanese Physicians' Podcast where we discuss the results of the recently published study "Anxiety, depression and PTSD in children and adolescents following the Beirut port explosion" with Drs. Fadi Maalouf and Lilian Ghandour. In this episode we discuss the psychological impact of the explosion on children and adolescents in Lebanon following the explosion. We discuss the questionnaires used, the areas in Lebanon that were polled, and the significance of the results obtained given the high rates of anxiety, depression, and PTSD in those children after the explosion. We end it with potential lessons learned and public policy recommendations regarding similar traumatic events in the future.
You can find the article in the Journal of Affective Disorders along with another article published by the group on the effects of the explosion on adults. "Maalouf FT, Haidar R, Mansour F, Elbejjani M, Khoury JE, Khoury B, Ghandour LA. Anxiety, depression and PTSD in children and adolescents following the Beirut port explosion. J Affect Disord. 2022 Apr 1;302:58-65"
