Brett Feldman is the director and co-founder of the Street Medicine division at Keck School of Medicine of USC and a professor of family medicine.

Expect to learn how Brett treats homelessness one patient at a time, the philosophy of street medicine, why love alone cannot solve homelessness, the most prevalent barriers to treating the homeless, and why spiritual poverty is much more dangerous than material poverty, and more.
Let's get this started.
