Validated Machine Learning tools to distinguish IO / RT / infective pneumonitis - latest publication from the OCTAPUS-AI consortium now in the Radiotherapy & Oncology Journal. Great to collaborate with so many centres across the UK:

I completely agree. How can you have a CME session and podcast on “Nicotine Misperceptions”, which is sponsored by #BigTobacco Philip Morris International?
Medscape need to review their content and put out a statement on the reasons for this asap

Naftali Kaminski Medscape American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Not all of it in the trash yet.
Hey Medscape you missed one.

Would you attend a CME session titled 'Nicotine Misperceptions: What Does the Evidence Say,' funded by #BigTobacco giant Philip Morris?
Apparently, Medscape thinks this is OK & American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) gave it CME/MOC accreditation - an absolute failure.

Validated machine learning tools to distinguish pneumonitis. V nicely done Sumeet Hindocha - really nice to see the broad collaboration from the Resp/Onc community NIHR Royal Marsden BRC with @ICRLondon and CRF sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A new framework designed to help clinicians manage tobacco dependency in hospitalised patients has been published by British Thoracic Society (BTS)

Update: Medscape seem now to have removed 3 of their Philip Morris 'educational' items, but left one still online.
Weird. #SleazyTobaccoIndustryInfiltrationOfMedicalEducation

In complete agreement with Dr Nick Hopkinson
There is NO place for tobacco companies in healthcare education. Inexcusable decision from Medscape especially when prevention is one of the biggest priorities for world population health. Shameful!

Mega; great to see there were 2 UK sites (Truro and Christie). Can’t wait to see the data. Positive for both co primary endpoints! # LCSM. BTOG

👏👏 Sumeet Hindocha Richard Lee - validated machine learning tools to distinguish causes of pneumonitis - a important clinical challenge & a look to future solutions. 👏👏Patrick Goodley for support our contribution from MFT Research and Innovation MFT NHS BTOG

Utterly astonishing that Medscape would take money from Big Tobacco for health education on - checks notes - diseases they themselves are causing. Whatever next?

Shame on you.
🤡

100% Agree Medscape do better! No tobacco company health and well being washing passes the reasonableness test

Agreed - thanks Dr Nick Hopkinson et al for raising this. Australia can do its bit to ensure Medscape are outed for this dreadful decision. Big Tobacco has no place in our society.

Check it out - one of the CME events funded by Philip Morris (‼️) is titled: “Health Impact of Tobacco Products: What Do We Know in 2024?”
Is there a better example of blatant conflict of interest? Did the authors know they worked for #BigTobacco ?

How can anybody in healthcare get CME credits for an activity sponsored by tobacco giant Philip Morris?
I think American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) should investigate & Medscape should immediately cancel the activity.
In American Thoracic Society (ATS) ERS you are banned if you an are funded by #BigTobacco .

👏Dr Nick Hopkinson for calling this out. Shameful Medscape. Hard to see anyway back to credibility & no future in medical education.
