Typically, hospitals offer health education in a stuffy setting with powerpoints and medical jargon. AAMC docsTALKwill take complex topics and break them down to easy conversation.
Playing on the popularity of shows like The Doctors and Dr. Oz, the series will offer the same type of medical expertise as those popular broadcasts, on a local, monthly basis, taking complex conversations from the operating room into a living room setting.
