White Coat, Black Art is a Canadian radio documentaryseries on CBC Radio One, hosted by physician Brian Goldman that examines the business and culture of medicine from an insider's perspective. Its name is a reference to the white coats that doctors wear, and to the ways that practicing medicine is still in some ways a "black art" rather than a science: mysterious, intuitive, and difficult to master.
The series began as a summer series in 2007 and became a regular program on the network's schedule.
The Canadian Medical Association awarded the program the 2011 Media Award for Health Reporting (Excellence in Radio Reporting / In-Depth).[1]
