What is Preventive Medicine? – Ragav Sharma, DO

In every episode we ask our guests, “what does preventive medicine mean to you” and get a variety of answers. In fact, we recently had a post on Instagram that included all of the answers in one graphic. Beyond that question, we don’t explore the question further and get straight into the topic at hand. In this episode, Ragav goes in depth into the question of what preventive medicine means from various different perspectives to create a comprehensive picture.

He discusses his interest in preventive medicine, the different “branches” of preventive care, and what we can do to bring it all together to improve people’s lives. Let us know what you think of this episode!
