title: Debates, dialectic, and rhetoric: an approach to teaching radiology residents health economics, policy, and advocacy.
abstract: Arguing is an art and essential to the functioning of our political and legal system. Moderated debates between residents are a useful educational vehicle to teach residents health economics and health policy. Articulating the opposing arguments leads to greater mutual understanding, an appreciation of the limits of knowledge and improved advocacy.
