Navigating Personal Healthcare Misinformation (with Dr. Brandon Temte)

What is evidence-based medicine and why should healthcare consumers care? What role does cognitive bias play in everyday healthcare decisions? What separates a quality, informative research paper from dubious, low quality research papers? As a healthcare consumer, how can you tell the difference? To help answer these questions, we have Dr. Brandon Temte joining us today on the Balancing Act Podcast. Brandon is the outgoing Chief Pulmonary and Critical Care fellow at the University of Wisconsin, where he will be staying as faculty in the fall of this year.  Tune into episode 199 for an update on Brandon's story (he is our FIRST repeat guest) and his thoughts and guidance on how to navigate through the mis- and disinformation that is seemingly everywhere on the internet. https://www.andrewtemte.com/
