Week in, week out, we seek accurate information on health, relevant to ourselves, family members, and friends. We get bombarded with advice, often contradictory, from social media, mainstream media, podcasts, influencers, relatives, and acquaintances. Who should we believe? How do we verify what to believe? A panel of physicians from our class will tackle these questions, from their own perspectives and well as in the advice they give in their own writing, presentations, and clinical advice to patients, family, and friends.
