PharmedOut’s 9th Conference, Making Health People Sick: Invented Diseases and Overtreatment

About the Conference:

Diseases can be created, expanded, or overtreated. When symptoms are categorized into a disease state, the idea that a drug is needed to treat it goes unspoken. Some “diseases”, including Low-T, osteopenia,  and many psychiatric diagnoses were created by pharmaceutical companies to sell specific drugs. Other conditions, including ADHD and bipolar disorder, were expanded to make more people eligible for drug treatments.

Come learn about how the pharmaceutical industry affects medical knowledge at PharmedOut’s 9th conference, Making Healthy People Sick: Invented Diseases and Overtreatment, to be held at Georgetown University Medical Center June 14-16, 2023.

12.75 Continuing Education Credits Available. Continuing Education Credits are available for Physicians, Nurses, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists, Psychologists, and Social workers.
