Interview: David Crabb, MD, Chair, Department of Medicine, IU School of Medicine



Sound Medicine's Dr. David Crabb spends much of his time educating medical students and residents. He's also an alcohol researcher.

In this doc chat session, Dr. Crabb tells Barbara Lewis about a new alcohol screening component that is now part of many medical residents' training. The idea is to train new doctors how to spot signs of possible drug and alcohol abuse.
