Med School Cafe - Expert Advice for the Community

Dr. Thomas Leytham, a family medicine physician at University Physicians Group, presented the May Med School Cafe lecture titled “Stressed Out? When to See Your Doctor.”

During the talk, Dr. Leytham discussed the importance of recognizing the negative effects stress can have on your health and how to assess when it might be time to seek medical help when confronted with stress.

Med School Café is a free community lecture series sponsored by the USA Physicians Group. Each month, faculty from the USA College of Medicine share their expertise on a specific medical condition, providing insight on the latest treatment available.
