    This month, Aaron is talking to Dr. Rafat Abonour about multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is a cancer that forms in white blood cells, and Dr. Abonour tells Aaron about how the disease affects patients, and the cutting edge of research into treatments. And we get a nice story about biking.

  • AcademyHealth: We need to debate value in the light of day

      06/13/2016
      Aaron Carroll

    Recently I took part in the Midwest CEPAC (Comparative Effectiveness Public Advisory Council) meeting, run by ICER, the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review. I wrote about it over at the AcademyHealth blog.

    You should go read it. It’s important.
