Each week, Dr. Mark Ebell, POEMs Editor, joins Dr. Michael Wilkes, NPR correspondent and Vice-Dean of the UC-Davis Medical School, for a five minute discussion about an important recent medical study reviewed by the POEMs editors. POEMs provide synopsised reviews of studies that could affect a clinician's practice, and the discussion in this podcast provides additional depth and insight into the issue covered by the POEMs synopsis.
