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!

Please listen to and watch our latest episode of The Lebanese Physicians' Podcast with Dr. Aniella Abi Gerges, Associate Professor of Physiology at the Lebanese American University and Myriam Boueri, medical student. In this episode co-hosted with Dr. MohammadAli Jardaly, we discuss their latest published clinical trial: "Cherfane M, Boueri M, Issa E, Abdallah R, Hamam A, Sbeity K, Saad A, Abi-Gerges A. Unveiling the unseen toll: exploring the impact of the Lebanese economic crisis on the health-seeking behaviors in a sample of patients with diabetes and hypertension. BMC Public Health. 2024 Feb 27;24(1):628. doi: 10.1186/s12889-024-18116-6. PMID: 38413883; PMCID: PMC10900622."
In this episode, we discuss the outcomes of the year-long project that medical students conduct at LAU in which Myriam and her colleagues under the mentorship of Dr. Abi Gerges looked at the effects of the Lebanese economic crisis on access to hypertension and diabetes treatment between 2021 and 2022. The effects of the crisis were eye opening and revealing, and the numbers can be used to build on policy in the future. An episode not to be missed.
