President-elect Donald Trump last week nominated Johns Hopkins University surgeon and author Marty Makary, MD, MPH as Food and Drug Administration commissioner. Makary sat down with NCPA CEO Douglas Hoey in September for our podcast, the Independent Rx Forum, to discuss his work and the different ways conventional wisdom in medicine can get in the way of proper patient care.
Makary is the author of Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What it Means for Our Health; Unaccountable; and The Price We Pay, and has written editorials for The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and other major publications. He was also a keynote speaker at the 2023 NCPA Annual Convention. You can find every episode of Independent Rx Forum on our website or subscribe on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Audible, or wherever you get your podcasts.
