Clear, thought provoking review of key psychiatric concepts, even for non psychiatrists!

I’m in year 3 of my PMHNP training and I’ve been listening to this podcast since it started. The content, pacing, audio quality /tonality, and guest speakers have all been exceptional. I highly recommend any mental health clinician to listen, but especially PMHNPs and Psychiatrists. I’m starting to re-listen to episodes and still find excellent tidbits that I’ve forgotten.

I’m a PGY1 and I’ve been following this show since M3. I love listening to this show in the car, while doing chores, and walking the dog. It’s gentle extension and reinforcement of the material. M3 students should strongly consider the second season for the deep dives into major conditions that you will encounter on the wards and your shelf exams.

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!

Miss the podcast , please make more

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.

Loved listening to each episode. I learned quite a bit and have been working as psychiatry PA for several years. Thanks!

Great learning resource.

PMHNP here. Great high yield content.

Great series. As someone outside of psych I find it very approachable still for my specialty and appreciate the ease and well structured format.

If you haven’t listened yet wyd?

Having no background in medical, this helps me understand the field through a new lens, where my prior experience of psych was one built on movie portrayels and the feeling that psych is a nebulous field. Thanks, Mark

I have listened to all the episodes and have shared several with my co-residents. I have learned so much hearing different perspectives from true experts. Dr. Mullen and his guests strike the perfect balance of including fascinating insights into the history and etiologies of disorders while keeping the content very clinically relevant. Thank you!

I’m a psychiatric pharmacist working in the outpatient clinic setting. This podcast does an excellent job breaking down clinical pearls related to diagnosis and treatment. The guest speakers are always extremely knowledgeable clinicians. It’s really been helpful in expanding my knowledge base to treatment outside of psychiatric medications!

Listened to one episode but plan on listening to more. As a an experienced psychiatrist, I appreciated the clinical pearls and not hearing about the basic information. Also appreciated this was geared towards physicians.

As someone going into Psychiatry residency, this has been an excellent resource and discussion over the main topics in psychiatry with exceptional guests. It’s now a mainstay in my podcast library. Thank you!

A great podcast series I find myself listening to over and over again. I especially enjoyed the substance use disorder episode!!

One podcast in and I’m hooked. Fresh perspectives on applying gold standard treatments. Reassuring, yet provides new ideas and challenges. Great podcasts make continued learning fun and easy. Let’s make some CME happen here!

This has become a non-negotiable resource I recommend to colleagues. A great podcast for any Psych Resident or someone interested in Psychiatry. Keep up the good work!

This podcast is like eating a gourmet meal. The setting includes high audio quality and all my favorite selections. The host genuinely prepares the audience for the experience to come and brings informative and professional speakers. The content is timely, digestible and invigorating, allowing the listener to be refreshed by what they learned. Going back for seconds on the episodes to digest and savor every morsel of information. The substance use episode and BPD were transformative as well as practice-changing! Keep serving it up!

I wish I had this energy podcast when I was a trainee psychiatrist. The episode on suicide risk assessment is especially outstanding.

Thank you so much for your suicide risk assessment podcast. As an MSW student working with suicidal patients I learned so much and I can actually use this information every day

I’ve been looking for a podcast like this! Thank you so informative!!!

As a psych resident, I have really struggled to find podcasts, videos, etc that are directly relevant to training. This is the best that I’ve found so far. Excited for more episodes.

Dr. Mullen brings his natural interviewing style and clear passion to these impressive and enlightening conversations. No doubt this is relevant and inspiring content for students and residents, while also a fantastic listen even for seasoned psychiatrists. Thank you for the time and energy to put it together for us!

I’m no doctor, but this podcast is still one of my favorites! It’s educational and helpful in my personal life as well as intellectually stimulating. Dr. Mullen breaks the topics down and allows students and his broader audience to understand the complexity of psychiatry. This pod is truly cutting edge. Thanks, Doc!

Dr. Mullen does an amazing job!!

I wish I had listened to Dr. Mullen’s podcast before my third year psychiatry rotation! His insight and advice along with the wisdom of his guests is invaluable to any medical trainee, regardless of (and maybe especially if) they don’t intend to go into psychiatry. Will absolutely be incorporating what I have learned into my future practice.

Dr. M gets this right. Good questions, let’s the interviewer talk, awesome guests.

What a great podcast! This is the exact kind of thing I was looking for when I started psychiatry residency, but it’s really a great resource even now as a current resident. Excited for more episodes!

As the chair of our psychiatry department, I’m thrilled that students and residents have this podcast as a resource. Thank you, Dr. Mullen!

As a resident physician myself, I really appreciate with Dr. Mullen has done here. Medical training is a very daunting task and trying to keep up with reading textbooks and literature while honing clinical skills feels impossible. This was an entertaining, digestible, and most importantly useful tool that will help so many. Can't wait for even more!

Dr. Mullen is a great blend of knowledgeable and funny, his insight and experience combined with his down to earth personality make this a must listen.

Dr. Mullen is amazing. He is incredibly intelligent, yet he is able to discuss psychiatry in a way that is easy for entry-level providers to understand. Very worth the listen!

No notes!!! Whoohooo!!

There are so many podcasts out there that promise you’ll learn xyz after a single listen, and you walk away wondering why you just wasted an hour of your day. THIS IS NOT THAT PODCAST! I have no doubt this podcast will be incredibly helpful to the psychiatry community and to those of us that are interested in learning more about psychiatry and even ourselves. Dr. Mullen is clearly a very skilled psychiatrist and expertly leads these conversations in way that is easy for us to understand. You don’t need an MD behind your name to follow along! This is a podcast for EVERYONE!

Dr. Mullen is a thoughtful, compassionate practitioner with a soft spot for guiding new psychiatrists through the ringer that is medical school, interviews, residency, and research. His guest list this season is truly impressive and will remind new psychs why the profession is so important yet can be improved with heart.
