Session moderated by Bob Wachter

On July 1, Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo became the 17th editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), as well as editor of JAMA Network(TM). She previously served as vice dean for Population Health and Health Equity and chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at UCSF. In this fireside chat, we’ll catch up with Kirsten and hear about her new role at JAMA, the role of an editor in an era of scientific misinformation, COVID and health disparities, and other insights.
