MEET TODAY’S GUEST
Dr. Sam Zand
This month's Provider POV features a psychiatrist who's not afraid to challenge his own field. Dr. Sam Zand calls himself "a little anti-psychiatry" and doesn't hold back about medicine's shameful history with LGBTQ+ communities.
We talk about why sexual health remains taboo in therapy, and the importance of leaning into your own discomfort as a provider.
