In this week's episode of the Neurophilia Podcast, we discuss the dynamic relationship of "Neurology and Neurosurgery;" including the proximal and respectful collaboration between these two fields of medicine, and areas of interdisciplinary training available at the resident level. Additionally, some time is spent discussing imposter syndrome in medicine and the growing need for women and minorities in the fields of neurology and neurosurgery. Come learn about neurology and neurosurgery as our guests, Dr. Blake Buletko and Dr. Julie Chen, share personal and professional anecdotes from their lives.

Dr. Blake Buletko is a vascular neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic. He completed his residency and fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic and was the former medical director of their mobile stroke program.
