Medicine
Since I began blogging in July 2009, my posts have been featured in widely read blogs such as KevinMD.com, The Doctor Weighs In, The Health Care Blog, The Doctor Blog, and Gary Schwitzer's HealthNewsReview, as well as the websites of major national health and news outlets such as the Costco Connection, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the Boston Globe. I also previously wrote the consumer health blog Healthcare Headaches for U.S. News and World Report.
Like the vast majority of physicians who blog, I write in my spare time. I have never accepted advertising or paid web links on Common Sense Family Doctor, and the choices of topics for posts are my own and not influenced by financial or other conflicts of interest. In order to support the time I devote to blogging, and to encourage high-quality medical writing and clinical practice, I give lectures and workshops to medical and non-medical audiences on a variety of topics. These include the uses of social media in medicine and education, developing and implementing clinical guidelines, and the evidence supporting prevention recommendations. Here's a clip from a 2014 talk I gave at the National Press Foundation on cancer screening.
If you or your organization would like to invite me to speak, please send me an e-mail at [email protected] or [email protected].
