Welcome to the American Family Physician Podcast for the March 15th, 2016 issue.

I'm Luke.

I'm Megan.

I'm Jake.

I'm Kelsey.

We are residents and faculty, mostly residents of the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Phoenix Family Medicine residency.

This week, we're going to talk about alcohol use disorder, anal fissures, pre-exposure prophylaxis, and endometrial cancer.

We'll also feature our second EBMM, the Evidence-based Medicine Minute with Dr. Mark Abel.

The opinions expressed in the podcast are our own and do not represent the opinions of the American Academy of Family Physicians, the editor of American Family Physician or Banner Health.

Do not use this podcast for medical advice. Instead, see your own family doctor for medical care.

We're on a mission delivering the best from American family physician.

That's right.
