This winter we shared so many posts it was hard to pick just five highlights. We had posts on dementia screening, glioblastoma immunotherapy, precision medicine, and more. A theme did emerge, though, after an editorial in JAMA came out in January on marketing and medicine. If you are looking to grow your practice, take a look at our 2018 and 2019 winter posts on building up your referral base and delving into content marketing. Enjoy!
