Asma Merchant et Al studied impact of Podcasts as a mode of education in trauma. Found that most have valid content and were effective learning approaches - But majority didn’t properly declare conflict of interest! ? Does this slant the data being presented? Must do better !!!

Thank you to SURGERY Journal for the opportunity to publish important findings on improving trauma care in low-resource settings using lessons from high-income countries. We discuss overcoming challenges in LMICs and building trauma registries as a means to evolve trauma care 📈🏥
Thrilled to share our recent publication in JAMA Network Open - 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! jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
