"Every life is worth learning from. And every life can help save another." That's the idea I shared at TEDxRMI. AI isn't the hero—people are. But it's finally the tool that lets the world teach the world. This is people-driven medicine.

This study evaluating the quality of trauma surgery podcasts reports good content quality, but many creators do not disclose their conflicts of interest. Proper disclosures are crucial for credibility and fostering critical consumption of information. ja.ma/4b7eXIh
Thrilled to share our recent publication in @JAMANetworkOpen - we evaluated the quality of trauma surgery podcasts and indicated the need for proper disclosure of conflicts of interest. More transparency can lead to stronger, more credible content!
