What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is the best “Psychiatry Fundamentals”podcast on the Internet. If you are a resident, med student, NP, PA, or just want a refresher on psychiatry, you will not be disappointed. I can’t wait to see where this podcast goes in the future. Please don’t give up on us. We are hungry for world class lectures and information!

I am starting a clinical rotation this month on an inpatient psychiatry unit at a teaching hospital, working under attendings and residents. This podcast has been so helpful in easing some of my anxiety and feelings of intimidation going into this rotation. I wish I had found this prior to my first clinical, but better late than never. The best part - it’s an easy listen! The conversational tone of each episode makes it an enjoyable experience while being so highly informative. Thank you for putting out this podcast, from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks Dr. Mullen. As a clinical social worker working in a public agency I’m finding your episodes on critical topics both reassuring and elucidating. Early career social work clinicians do not have the benefit of the breadth and depth of didactic education nor, in most cases, the expert ongoing clinical supervision available to MD psychiatrists - yet we are tasked with performing many of the same critical diagnostic and interpersonal functions. Your series is very supportive, helping me anchor in what I know, increase my knowledge and understanding and ask myself important next questions. I find you to be a compassionate, curious and talented interviewer and teacher. I bet you’re a beloved supervisor and teacher. Thank you.
