In the latest episode of the UnsCripted Medicine Podcast, listen in as we navigate the complexities of medical licensing, the erosion of expertise, and the pursuit of truth in medicine. Hosting this week is Andrew who is joined by two guests: Dr. Richard Baron (CEO, ABIM) and Professor Carl Coleman (JD, Seton Hall Law School) who published a thought-provoking paper titled Protecting the Legitimacy of Medical Expertise in the NEJM this last February. In this paper, they discuss the historical significance of licensing, the public's reliance on them, and recent laws passed that are challenging expertise and the institutions that validate it. Hear them further discuss the state of medicine and the threats to our profession.
