Under the new policy, the AMA will work with health professional societies to tackle disinformation spread by healthcare professionals across all forms of media, according to a news release shared with Becker’s. The organization will also study the effect disinformation disseminated by health professionals has on public health so it can better design a strategy to prevent it.
“Physicians are among the most trusted source of information and advice for patients and the public at large, which is why it’s so dangerous when a physician or other healthcare professional spreads disinformation,” AMA board member Jesse Ehrenfeld, MD, said in the release. ” We are committed to doing everything we can to stop the spread of disinformation and providing accurate, evidence-based information — the lives of our patients and the public depend on it.”
