    • Episode 1 - Models of Healthcare

      In this episode, Laura tells a story about a time when she didn't have a healthcare team she trusted. Then, Jared explains two primary models of healthcare (the biomedical model and the biopsychosocial model). They discuss how these models can help you understand why practitioners ask (or don't ask) some questions. And finally, they discuss how knowledge of these models might help you know when to seek a second opinion.
