Meet the PAAD's podcast/social media team
Myron Yaster MD
We have approximately 25 members on the PAAD’s executive council who serve as our writers, reviewers, and editors. I thought it was high time that I introduce them to you and have asked them to submit a head shot photo and short bio. I will introduce all of them to you over the next few weeks. The podcast and social media team is new and you will start to see their work in the PAADs starting next month. Myron Yaster MD
