What's current? What's common? What do healthcare providers and patients need to know? Join us for the latest episode of Ninety Minutes: The Medical Magazine of the Web. In this episode we'll look at common medical procedures and behaviors. They may be common, but are they actually worthwhile? What's the evidence?

Our medical magazine of the web, discusses a variety of topics spanning adult and pediatric medicine of interest to healthcare providers and anyone who wants to keep up-to-date about healthcare. As always, the CME credit is available and free. Tune in to listen and pose questions to our panelists.

The 31st Symposium is sponsored by New York Medical College of Touro University.

Questions may be submitted to webinar@touro.edu.

Opening Remarks and Moderator:

Presenters:

Does it really make a difference in mother and child safety to give birth in a hospital rather than at home?

They won't let me take my newborn home from the hospital until after the pediatrician checks the baby. Is a newborn physical examination proven to be of value?

My doctor says that a chest x-ray should be part of my yearly physical. Is that evidence-based medicine?

My doctor says that an EKG should be part of my yearly physical. Is that evidence-based medicine?

Approximately 59 million Americans take vitamins or other nutritional supplements. Are they worthwhile? Is eating a balanced diet enough?
