Neurology® Delayed Recall Podcast

We are producing and releasing 4 special podcast interviews this month dedicated to responsible opioid prescribing. We are doing this largely as a response to the ongoing opioid epidemic, in the U.S. and also around the world. Also, many state boards in the U.S. are now requiring a few hours of CME for responsible opioid prescribing, and these podcasts would likely be eligible for a total 2 hour of category 1 CME-but you may want to check with your U.S. state board mandates on that to be sure. Regardless of CME, we felt these topics deserved covering now so that's what's we at the Podcast are doing. All four will be released this month.
