Listen here to Neurology Nuts and Bolts: Constructing Your Career, a podcast from Creator and Executive Producer Sara Schaefer MD MHS about all the things that you wish you were taught about the practice of neurology.

Sara Schaefer speaks with Dr. Paul Lee, child neurologist and Director of Division Neurology 2 at the FDA, and Dr. Daniela Pimentel Maldonado, neuroimmunologist and clinical reviewer at the FDA. They discuss what they do, how it differs from other jobs in academia, industry, or at the NIH, and what about their work gets them out of bed every morning.
