"If I’m a funding body, I would think twice about engaging with McMaster." A Coauthor of Reviews of Pediatric Gender Medicine Reflects On the Fallout.

My conversation with Dr. Steven Montante, a plastic surgeon who with McMaster University experts coauthored four controversial systematic literature reviews of pediatric gender medicine.

Dr. Steven Montante, a plastic surgeon and coauthor of the recent systematic literature reviews out of McMaster University on pediatric gender medicine.

It’s been quite the week. The scandal out of McMaster University—over Dr. Gordan Guyatt’s evidence-based medicine team disavowing the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) and weighing in on how their systematic reviews of pediatric gender medicine—feels so distant.
