What is an expert? Do more years of experience guarantee a deepening of knowledge? Do scientists think differently than clinicians? In this episode of Down the Hatch (The Swallowing Podcast), hosts Alicia Vose and Ianessa Humbert discuss how to obtain knowledge, with an emphasis on swallowing and swallowing disorders. This episode was created in response to feedback from the Swallowing Physiology Series we recently completed, where listeners wanted to know "How do I become an expert in swallowing?" and, importantly, "How do I know who to trust as an 'expert' in swallowing?".
