He is retired as an assistant clinical professor at Tufts University School of Medicine and anesthesiologist at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Atwood is an active skeptic and an associate editor of the journal Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine. He is also co-editor (along with Stephen Barrett) of Naturowatch, one of Quackwatch's affiliated sites, and associate editor at Science Based Medicine. He is a Founding Fellow Board of Director for the Institute for Science in Medicine. In 2010, Atwood was elected as one of sixteen Fellows of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, an honor granted for \"major contributions to science and reason, critical inquiry, and public education\". Atwood is best known as a critic of naturopathic medicine. His long term interest in pseudoscience was piqued in 2000 by a nursing conference held at his hospital. Therapeutic touch and other alternative healing practices were promoted as effective treatments for pleural mesothelioma. Atwood represented the opposition to naturopathic physicians licensing in his state. He was the primary author of the minority report opposing such licensure in Massachusetts."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
