This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction Dr. Singh: Welcome to another episode of our podcast, my name is Dr. Harnek Singh, faculty in the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. Today we have prepared a great episode about street medicine, a field that has grown a lot during the last decade and continues to grow now. We are joined by a guest who is passionate about this topic. Wase, please introduce yourself.Wase: Hello everyone, my name is Mohammed, many know me as Wasé, I am a 4th year medical student from the American University of the Caribbean. Today we're diving into a topic that sits at the intersection of medicine, compassion, and public health — Street Medicine and Harm Reduction. We're going to step outside with this episode, literally, away from the clinic and hospital, to explore more about what care looks like in the streets. Historic background: How did street medicine start?Wase: The roots of Street Medicine in the United States go back to Dr. Jim Withers in Pittsburgh in the 1990s, who literally began by dressing as a homeless person and providing care on the streets to build trust. His efforts have shaped street medicine to what it is today. It combines primary care, mental health, and social support. Dr. Singh: For family physicians, this model aligns perfectly with our holistic approach. We don't just treat diseases; we treat people in context — their environment, their challenges, their stories. What is the main population seen by a street medicine team?Wase: This patient population includes those struggling with homelessness, housing insecurity, food insecurity, substance use disorders; with patients being preoccupied on where they will sleep that night or when their next meal comes, they do not have the luxury of prioritizing their health. Street Medicine is a powerful outreach program to bring care to them in order to provide equitable care within our community. Dr. Singh: How is street medicine different than caring for patients in the clinic?Wase: Working on the street means we have to think differently about what healthcare looks like — and that's whereharm reductioncomes in.What is Harm Reduction?Wase: Harm reduction is a public health philosophy that focuses on reducing the negative consequences of high-risk behaviors, rather than demanding complete abstinence.Dr. Singh: Preventive care is the backbone of family medicine. For example, we keep up with the USPSTF guidelines and make sure our patients are up to date with their screenings. But what does that look like in the street medicine setting? Wase: In practice, that might mean:-needle exchange program: Offering clean syringes to prevent HIV transmission and removing used needles-distributing naloxone to prevent overdose deaths-offering fentanyl test-strips to prevent use of substances that are unknowingly laced with fentanylDr. Singh: Also:-providing condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections-providing wound care to prevent further spread of infectionWase: Yes, the idea is: people are going to engage in risky behaviors whether or not we approve of it, so let's meet them with compassion, tools, and trust instead of judgment. Harm reduction also applies beyond substance use; think about safer sex education, or even diabetic foot care among people who can't refrigerate insulin or change shoes daily. It's all about meeting people where they areandkeeping them alive and engaged in care. Planning in Street Medicine: Wase: It takes careful disposition planning and aftercare for this population. Instead of the traditional outpatient setting where we can place referrals and expect our patients to follow through with them. On street medicine, for follow up visits it requires arranging transportation, finding a pharmacy close in proximity, educating and counseling on medication adherence and how to make it, and making sure they have some sort of shelter to get by. Dr. Singh: Let's describe a typical street med encounter.Wase: A typical Street Medicine encounter might look like this: a small team — usually a physician, nurse, social worker, and sometimes a peer advocate — goes out with backpacks of supplies. They might start with wound care, blood pressure checks, or even medication refills. But what's just as important is the relationship-building. Sometimes, the first visit isn't about medicine at all — it's about showing up consistently.Over time, that trust opens the door for conversations about addiction treatment, mental health, and preventive care. For example, in some California Street Medicine programs, teams are treating chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and hepatitis C, right where patients live with the same evidence-based care we'd give in a clinic. One of my favorite quotes from Street Medicine teams is: “We're not bringing people to healthcare; we're bringing healthcare to people.”Challenges in Street Medicine:Wase: The populations that you will encounter include many people who will often downplay their own health concerns and prior diagnoses. Unfortunately, this is usually from countless months or years of feeling neglected by our healthcare system. Some may even express distrust in our healthcare system and healthcare providers. Patient will, at times, be apprehensive to receive care or trust you enough to tell their story. Dr. Singh: Interviewing patients is a critical aspect of providing equitable care on the streets. It is always important to offer support and medical care, even if the patient denies it, always reassure that your street medicine clinic will be around every week and ready for them when they would like to seek care. Wase: Respecting patient autonomy is an utmost concern as well. Another element of interviewing to consider is to invite new ideas and information; instead of lecturing patients about taking medications on time or telling them they need to stop doing drugs—simply asking a patient “would you like to know more about how we can help you stop using opioids?” respects their choice but can also spark new ideas for them to consider. Singh: Adaptability is another key component to exceling patient care in street medicine. Like, performing physical exams on park benches or in the back of a minivan. Always doing good with our care but also respecting their autonomy is crucial in building a trust that these patients once lost with our system. Wase: Each patient has their own timeline, but we as providers should always assure them that our door is always open for them when they are ready to seek care. Conclusion.Wase: So, to wrap up — Street Medicine and harm reduction remind us that healthcare isn't just about hospitals and clinics. It's about relationships, trust, and dignity.Every patient deserves care, no matter where they sleep at night.If you're a resident or student listening, I encourage you to seek out these experiences — volunteer with Street Medicine teams, learn from harm reduction workers, and let it shape how you practice medicine. Thank you for listening to this episode of the Rio Bravo qWeek podcast. I'm Mohammed — and I hope this conversation inspires you to meet patients where they are and walk with them on their journey to health.Dr. Singh: If you liked this episode, share it with a friend or a colleague. This is Dr. Singh, signing off.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

As the WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) prepares for COP11 in Geneva, its track record of silencing dissent and bending evidence to demonize safer nicotine products stands exposed. Through tortured data, selective science, and an absolutist anti-nicotine agenda bankrolled by billionaire donors, the FCTC has shifted from a treaty against smoking to a template for exclusionary global health governance—one that ignores evidence, excludes dissenting experts, and punishes nations that embrace harm reduction. Joining RegWatch to dissect this threat is Dr. Roger Bate, PhD economist, international health policy researcher, and nonresident scholar at the International Center for Law and Economics. Dr. Bate explains how WHO's hostility to market-driven alternatives isn't just misguided—it's dangerous. The organization's stance fuels illicit markets and cartels, undermines cessation science, emboldens prohibitionists, and replaces public-health pragmatism with billionaire-funded paternalism.

Welcome to Bear With Me, a new interview show on politics from The Brown Daily Herald newsroom. I'm your host, Evan Tao. This first episode is about drugs. Providence is becoming an innovator in the realm of drug policy. This past year, it opened the first overdose prevention center in the United States outside of New York. It represents something of a revolution in drug policy. Instead of aggressively policing drug use, instead of passively letting it take place on the street, what if instead the government created a safe place for people to use drugs?Researchers at Brown are studying the methods and effectiveness of the overdose prevention center. At the same time students here at Brown have launched a club called Harm Reduction Coalition, which aims to connect students to volunteering at the OPC and advocates for the Harm reduction school of thought in drug policy. Today, I'm speaking with Kavita Doobay '27, a junior at Brown and one of the co-founders and co-leaders of Harm Reduction Coalition.

At 21 years old, Lucas has never had a legal drink—yet he's already survived alcohol addiction, Kratom dependence, and the brutal withdrawals that followed. His story begins in a chaotic household where nightly drinking and fighting were the norm. By 19, Lucas was mixing alcohol with pills, throwing up blood, and blacking out behind the wheel. That night at home became his rock bottom—and the start of change.But when he stopped drinking, Kratom slid in to fill the void. Sold right next to the energy drinks at gas stations, it seemed harmless—“all natural.” In reality, it's a partial opioid agonist that hooks into the brain's mu receptors. Lucas thought it was helping him stay functional—until he couldn't go a day without it. Lucas shares what recovery looks like when you do it on your own, the painful truth about “functional” addiction, and how community ultimately helped him heal.

About three months ago the City of Richmond began a new program, offering harm reduction and personal hygiene products for free at vending machines across the city. It got off to a bit of a rocky start. Brad Kutner has this report on how things are going now.
Why has America struggled so much to effectively manage the opioid use crisis? One of the answers, as you'll learn in this eye-opening episode of Raise the Line, is rooted in laws and attitudes from the early 20th century that removed addiction from the realm of medicine and defined it as a moral failing. “The federal Harrison Act of 1914 forbade any physician from prescribing opioids to people with addiction, so it became more the purview of law enforcement or behavioral health or religion,” says Dr. Melody Glenn, who regularly confronts the consequences of this history during shifts in the emergency department at Banner-University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. And as Glenn explains to host Caleb Furnas, the resulting stigma associated with addiction has extended to the treatments for it as well, especially methadone, despite its effectiveness. Drawing on her dual expertise in emergency and addiction medicine, Glenn dispels misconceptions that medication-assisted treatment merely replaces one addiction with another, and emphasizes that harm reduction is critical to saving lives. Her desire to break prevailing stigmas led her to discover the story of Dr. Marie Nyswander, who pioneered methadone maintenance therapy in the 1960s and is featured in Dr. Glenn's new book, Mother of Methadone: A Doctor's Quest, a Forgotten History, and a Modern-Day Crisis. You'll leave this instructive interview understanding the roots of our flawed approach to addiction treatment, meeting an overlooked pioneer in the field, and admiring a devoted and compassionate physician who is following in her footsteps.

Alan discusses the significant differences between his intensive, abstinence-based path to recovery in 2002 and the current standards of addiction treatment. Prompted by renewing his DEA license and taking a required CE on opiate prescribing, Alan contrasts his successful, disruptive model (therapy and 12-step programs) with the modern focus on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), such as buprenorphine (Suboxone), and harm reduction. He grapples with his past skepticism of these newer methods but shares a patient's story and discusses the Sinclair Method (using naltrexone for alcohol recovery) which have opened his mind to various effective ways of getting well. Alan invites listeners to discuss these evolving approaches in the Very Dental Facebook group and the smaller, recovery-focused group, Dentists That Don't.
