The science of medicine offers tremendous opportunities to improve the health of children, but our ability to deliver on that promise may be thwarted by the blizzard of misinformation readily available to our patients and families. In this session, Dr. Kathleen Hall Jamieson of the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania will explain how pediatricians can reframe the way in which we think about misinformation. She will show how we can create a “buffer” to misinformation by proactively providing background knowledge that translates the language of science into the language of the popular culture. She will be joined on this panel by Dr. Michelle Fiscus, pediatrician and former Tennessee vaccine chief in charge of the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, and Dr. Judy Schaechter, President and CEO of the American Board of Pediatrics. They will describe how this approach can make sense of recent events in Tennessee (COVID vaccines), Florida (firearm safety) and nationally (climate change) and allow us to refocus our energy on the health of children and families.
