Sham Peer Review for Surgeons: EAST Town Hall Discussion

In this podcast we discuss the process of professional peer review, and how this process can be used or mis-used for a variety of reasons. Our guest is Dr. Larry Huntoon, who has become a recognized national expert in the area of “sham peer review”, and who was written and lectured extensively about common themes in techniques and tactics that are used in these proceedings. He gives some great advice about recognizing, reacting to, and even preventing this type of adverse professional action for surgeons. This interview was done as a “Town Hall” session, and Dr. Huntoon takes questions from the attendees after the formal moderated interview. The discussion is moderated by Dr. Matthew Martin and Dr. Andrew Bernard. Supplemental Materials: Editorial: Tactics Characteristic of Sham Peer Review by Larry Huntoon, MD, PhD Recognizing the Tactics of Sham Peer Review: a 3-part video series presented by Dr. Larry Huntoon
