    E19: The importance of pharmacology education in the age of misinformation and disinformation
    Mar 19 2026
    In this episode, we talk about how social media algorithms can unintentionally promote inaccurate medical claims by giving preference to posts that receive a lot of engagement. This allows false claims to spread quicker than evidence-based information, which has a harmful impact on public health. Our discussion also highlights its importance of identifying and correcting false information, promoting health literacy, and supporting reliable, evidence-based medication information sources.
