Dr. Ruscio Radio: Dr. Michael Ruscio DC

I recently had Robert, who just completed his 4th year of medical school, shadowing in my office.  Robert has also been fervently studying functional medicine and seemed to be quite taken with how we are doing things differently in my office than much of what his functional medicine education has taught.  I thought it would be insightful to have him on the podcast to share what he had learned after a day in the office.

The Evolution of Medicine: James Maskell

This week on the Evolution of Medicine podcast, we feature medical student and innovator, Robert Abbott. Like many of our practitioner community, personal experience lead Robert to the world of functional medicine. Once you discover something so positive and life-changing, there is no turning back and it certainly rings true for Robert.
​
Shocked that he wasn’t learning more about lifestyle medicine in medical school, he chose to dive into learning integrative and functional medicine through podcasts, blogs, and other free resources along with his med school training. From his diligent self-teachings, Robert collected and created a resource for any practitioner/student interested in functional and integrative medicine for free. Anyone in any corner of the world in pursuit of more information around functional and integrative medicine can access this information absolutely free. Don’t forget to share this with your colleagues and fellow med students.
On this podcast you will hear:
  • Robert’s story
  • why he decided to put together a free resource
  • how his leanings haven affected his patient and clinician interactions
  • the importance of not only getting the formal education, but also learning from the practitioner community
