With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Jeffrey Schneider specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation and first had his opportunity to work with burn patients shortly after the Station Nightclub Fire occurred while he was completing his residency. It was during that time that Dr. Schneider became interested in the long-term effects of a burn injury, and has since dedicated time to researching to better understand the impact of a burn injury. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Schneider about his research, discuss areas of opportunity for the burn community, and understand more about what it means to classify burns as a ‘chronic condition’. About Dr. Jeffrey C.
