Community lectures also teach residents how to regain a healthy lifestyle. “Our approach is individualized to fit each person’s specific needs, lifestyle and career,” Dr. Zadeii added. “For example, if a patient needs to improve cardiovascular health by becoming more active, we don’t just tell them to ride a bike, we work with them to pick the right bike.”
