Hey folks, just a quick reminder that this podcast is not meant to be used for medical advice, just good old-fashioned education, and all-patient information has been modified to protect our identity.

expert on this topic to learn from today, Dr. Alexmi Sandouge. She is an associate professor of medicine

at UCSF. She specializes in adult pulmonary and critical care medicine with a focus on medical education.

She attends in medical ICU, the neuro ICU, and the internal medicine teaching words,

and has clinic at the pulmonary outpatient faculty practice at UCSF.

She's a founder, a medical director of the multidisciplinary long COVID post-ICU optimal clinic at UCSF Health.

She serves as the Associate Program Director for Kirkland for Interdial Medicine Residency and the Associate Programme

Director of the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship.

She's also the director of the Department of Medicine Grand Rounds.

She obtained her master's in
