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!

In an episode co-hosted with MohammadAli Jardaly, we discuss with Dr. Andrea Darzi MD, MPH, PhD her work at McMaster University looking at health-care related guidelines. Health-care related guidelines are published to assist in the management of various diseases; however, they do not take cultural differences between countries and continents, and specific needs, into consideration.
Dr. Darzi discusses her group's work in developing recommendation maps aiding in guideline adaptation to the needs of the physicians and other health care workers assisting them in managing their patients. A big example and a subject she is working on is chronic pain management which varies tremendously between different countries. It may be opiate heavy in North America and much less opiate oriented in other countries.
These recommendations maps will assist in management, adaptation, and aid in research questions in the future focusing on the gaps in knowledge that need further study. They will also help patients understand their disease process and its management.
