As experts in the field of medicine and health care, they are looked to for advice and guidance, and the public relies on our trusted health care professionals for reliable, unbiased information. OMB licensees are therefore expected to use their voices to share factual, evidence-based information and to correct any misinformation or disinformation that has a potential to harm the public.
