The Neurophilia Podcast
Dr. Nupur Goel, MD and Dr. Blake Buletko, MD
Neurophobia is "the fear of neural sciences and clinical neurology" that is often experienced by medical students and young healthcare professionals. The Neurophilia Podcast is our attempt to help dispel the growing issue of neurophobia in the medical community. We engage in meaningful, interdisciplinary conversations with leading physicians to better connect neurology with other fields of medicine. Our hope is that with each episode, our listeners learn to appreciate, and perhaps even develop a love, for clinical neurology. Hosted by Dr. Nupur Goel, Neurology Resident at Mass General Brigham, and Dr. Blake Buletko, Program Director of Cleveland Clinic's Adult Neurology Program.

Neurology and Medicine: Specialization and Patient Advocacy in Medicine.
The Neurophilia Podcast
03/30/23 • 54 min
“Neurology is closer to internal medicine than any other specialty. Justifiably, neurologists are reverting back to their role as internists of the nervous system”-Jose Biller.
In this episode of the Neurophilia Podcast, we discuss the relationship between neurology and medicine, how to improve communication between primary and secondary care, specialization in medicine, what makes a "good consult," and the importance of patient advocacy in all fields of medicine. We are joined by Neurophilia Co-host, Dr. Blake Buletko, and two very special guests, Dr. Deborah Plate and Dr. Austin Fredrickson.
