Welcome to the Home of Medicine podcast with Dr Amie Burbridge and Dr Ben Lovell, in association with the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
Each episode explores real clinical cases, with a special focus on how cognitive biases shape our medical decision-making.
We created Home of Medicine to share the highs and lows of life in the medical profession, but above all, to bring connection, insight and joy.
