September is traditionally back to school time.
For physicians, school never ends.
Much of that ongoing education is based on the medical literature, and recent times have demonstrated some shakiness in that foundation.
You are invited to spend an evening reflecting on the quality of the current medical literature with Dr. Ivan Oransky and Dr. Adam Cifu.
Dr. Oransky is the director of the Center for Scientific Integrity, which recently received a $900K grant to establish the Medical Evidence Project that will be using the tools of forensic metascience to test the integrity of the medical literature.
Dr. Cifu's latest venture is the Sensible Medicine project (Substack and podcast), and he will be sharing with us his passion for evidence based medicine, exploring the movement’s present strengths and weaknesses.
Please join us for an evening examining the quality control challenges that we all face in our quest to stay current as medical practitioners.
Date: Monday, September 29
Time: 7.30 PM Dr. Oransky’s presentation
8:30 PM Dr. Cifu’s presentation
(please note, these sessions are independent of each other, so you can attend one or both)
