Dr Sam White is a clinical radiology registrar and PhD candidate at JBI and Health Evidence Synthesis, Recommendations and Impact (HESRI) with interests in neurointervention as well as evidence synthesis and diagnostic criteria development methodology. Through his PhD, he is leading an international collaboration seeking to establish an evidence-based framework to support development of diagnostic criteria particularly for conditions without objective tests, biomarkers or reference standards. Sam also serves as Chair of the Guidelines International Network (GIN) Overdiagnosis working group and is involved in multiple project groups as a member of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) working group. He has previously served as an Expert Advisor to the International Network for Epidemiology in Policy (INEP).
