Pro-trans professor doesn’t understand ‘evidence-based medicine,’ scholar says

A medical professor and paid expert witness for a transgender advocacy group fails to understand principles of evidence-based medicine, according to one researcher and scholar.

Child and adolescent psychiatry professor Dr. Jack Turban miscategorized the fundamental scientific concept of “systemic review” in his Oct. 16 deposition on behalf of the ACLU, challenging an Idaho law passed this year prohibiting child access to transgender drugs and surgeries, political theorist and Manhattan Institute fellow Leor Sapir wrote Monday in City Journal.

“Systematic reviews” are considered the strongest and most important sources for evidence-based medicine, Sapir wrote.
