Sham Peer Review

The Peer Review Committee at your hospital or institution is continually monitoring the performance of all its physicians as part of its quality and safety initiative.  This episode focuses on what to know about the peer review process if you happen to get the attention of the peer review committee: how to use the experience to improve yourself, and how to protect yourself and your career from sham peer review.  Dr. Charlie Harris interviews Dr. Andrew Bernard, Chief of the Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine.  For more on the topic of sham peer review, please see the 2016 EAST town hall moderated by Drs. Bernard and Matt Martin here
