FOAMed has revolutionized medical education, but has it also made it easier for bad information to spread? In this podcast episode, we explore the difference between evidence and opinion, what actually defines an expert, and why a large following doesn't necessarily mean someone is right. We'll discuss where expert opinion fits within evidence-based medicine, the role of medical direction and provider oversight, and how cognitive bias and social media can turn repetition into perceived truth. Join us as we discuss how to become a more discerning consumer of medical education and why the most important skill you can develop isn't finding the loudest voice but knowing how to evaluate what you hear. FOAMed isn't the problem. Uncritical consumption is.
