Talk:National Academy of Medicine

Overhaul and attempt to wikify
Page was highly disorganized and redundant. Began cleanup. More work needed. Leonard Finger (talk) 19:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * not sure how much more is needed as cleanup. You might consider reinserting some of the material about their publications. and perhaps we need a separate full list of members wit hlinks to their WP articles. See List of 08 elected members?

No need to include Dr. with M.D. that's restating something that is already stated. It's either Dr. - -, or it's - -, M.D. 02:17, 10 May 2013 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.0.43 (talk)

Not all medical doctors are M.D. There are D.O., D.D.S., etc...  also many medical researchers are Ph.D. Moheroy (talk) 22:18, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Name Change
This organization is now known as the National Academy of Medicine, as of today, July 1 2015 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallopingwalker (talk • contribs) 02:19, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

^Ditto. The article should be updated to reflect this change, as it has officially gone into effect. The Institute of Medicine is no more. Long live the National Academy of Medicine!

 * Shouldn't the name of the article be the United States National Academy of Medicine (section)?Robert P. O&#39;Shea (talk) 14:35, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Expert dog pile
For my own notes, I reordered the list from the lead as follows, in decreasing order of size (and presumed eminence within this domain, per geographical bucket):


 * World Health Organization
 * World Heart Federation
 * European Food Safety Authority
 * United States Food and Drug Administration
 * American Heart Association
 * American Dietetic Association
 * Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Medicine — American non-profit
 * British National Health Service
 * British Heart Foundation
 * British Dietetic Association
 * Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada
 * Dietitians of Canada

The The Good Judgment Project has demonstrated that combining experts is valuable, but only if the experts are working from independent sources of evidence or via distinct modes of analysis. There's nowhere close to a dozen independent lines of evidence represented in that list, and sorting the list into random order only helps to mask this issue. This entire list represents somewhere between two to four distinct expert opinions (as defined in The Good Judgement Project) in my rough assessment.

Less of a jumbled ordering would be more neutral in my opinion. &mdash; MaxEnt 21:16, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
