Sound Ethics
Sound Medicine is produced by the Indiana University School of Medicine and WFYI Public Radio. Host Barbara Lewis interviews medical experts on a wide range of current issues in medicine, from Alzheimer research to the West Nile virus. Joining Ms. Lewis each week are faculty co-hosts from the IU School of Medicine: Drs. Steven Bogdewic, David Crabb, Eric Meslin, Kathy Miller, and Ora Pescovitz.
The program educates and encourages listeners to make sound health decisions. It's also a forum for health issues affecting local communities.
