Learn the nuances of caring for and building relationships with patients experiencing homelessness from expert internal medicine and addiction medicine physician, Stefan Kertesz MD, return guest from Episode 74 on Opioids and Health Policy (highly recommend a re-listen, y’all!).  To teach us the tricks of the trade, Dr. Kertesz draws on his many years of treating the underserved and researching homelessness, housing, and addiction in Birmingham, Alabama, where he currently serves as professor at UAB and Birmingham VA Medical Center.  In the course of this episode, we discuss the challenge of creating a welcoming and useful space for individuals experiencing homelessness (this is the preferred term, per Dr. Kertesz), how to meet patients where they’re at--both physically and mentally--the challenge of managing diuretics for those without stable access to a bathroom (avoid, if possible), and why the foot exam is of paramount importance.    Listeners can claim Free CE credit through VCU Health at http://curbsiders.vcuhealth.org/ (CME goes live at 0900 ET on the episode’s release date).    Show Notes | Subscribe | Spotify | Swag! | Top Picks | Mailing List | thecurbsiders@gmail.com | CME!   Credits Written and Produced by Nora Taranto MD Infographics by Nora Taranto MD Cover Art by Kate Grant MBChB, MRCGP Hosts: Matthew Watto MD, FACP; Paul Williams MD, FACP, Nora Taranto MD     Editor: Carolyn Chan (written materials); Clair Morgan of nodderly.com Guest: Stefan Kertesz MD    Sponsor We are excited to announce that the Curbsiders are now partnering with VCU Health Continuing Education to offer continuing education credits for physicians and other healthcare professionals.
