Conversations with an Expert, Ep 4: Dr. Anne Fernandez
Today's episode is a continuation of the theme of alcohol use disorder and alcohol-related liver disease. This time, I speak with Dr. Anne Fernandez, a licensed clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Fernandez teaches us excellent pearls on motivational interviewing, the various options for behavioral and psychotherapy for alcohol use disorder, and how telehealth has been a boon in the management of this patient population.
I hope you enjoy!
As always, please share the video, comment/rate on YouTube, and send us any feedback you may have!
