8th, February 2022
$29.95
“50% of what you learn in medical school will turn out to be either outdated or dead wrong within 5 years of your graduation. The trouble is no one can tell you which half. So, you have to learn to learn on your own.”
the late Professor David Sackett, one of the founding members of the Evidence-Based Medicine movement, observed.1
Is it time to stop, as healthcare professionals, and discuss how we interpret and manage cholesterol?
Do we continue doing what we are doing or is it time for a change?
Co-hosted by acnem Board Members Dr Shamistra Barathan and Martin Gillespie, acnem’s 2nd Healthy Debate tackles this important issue head on, with our debating teams:
The debate explores questions such as:
- How important is cholesterol in managing cardiovascular health?
- Does “the lower the better” principle still hold true?
- Do statins continue to play a role in preventing heart disease?
Each team member has only 7 minutes to pitch their argument!
