As part of the show’s effort to communicate frequently with the broader physician and medical community, Dr. Crupain will maintain direct relationships with key public health organizations. He will also oversee the development and management of a new section of the show’s website devoted to ongoing conversation and updates with physicians, nurses, and health professionals.
