#251 What the USPSTF? Preventive Medicine Updates with Dr. Amber-Nicole Bird

What the USPSTF?! It’s time for some preventive medicine updates on: screening for unhealthy drug use, cervical cancer, hepatitis C and draft recs for colorectal cancer; plus how to interpret USPSTF screening recs. Dr. Amber-Nicole Bird @ABirdMD (Penn Medicine) refreshes our love for preventive medicine, with updates on the newest recommendations. She reviews how to appropriately interpret and adopt guidelines for our patients, being cognizant of the source. We shine light on the mechanism of USPSTF, including how their guidelines differ from others, so we can understand the value and context when utilizing the guidance in the clinic.
