“The Emperor Is Just Wearing Underwear”: Common Sense Oncology With Aaron and Chris

Accelerators co-hosts Drs. Matt Spraker and Simul Parikh host Drs. Chris Booth and Aaron Goodman to discuss their new organization, Common Sense Oncology (CSO).

Listen as Chris and Aaron describe the inspirational origin story of CSO, from an idea to a symposium to a groundbreaking movement. We discuss discomfort in speaking up against powerful voices in medicine, and how the interaction of hope and money can make this a big challenge.

We then move on to discussing details of their symposium and their inclusion of patients in the formation of their organization.

Finally, we discuss some future goals of CSO and how you can get involved!

Sign up to become a member of CSO and consider donating today (USA or non-USA). One hundred percent of the funds go to support CSO efforts!
