Once you find a podcast you like, click the "subscribe" button.Īpple really has a lock on the podcast/videocast market for now with iTunes/iPod.

The easiest way to subscribe to the podcasts/videocasts above is to download iTunes, then go to the podcast section and search for "JAMA", NEJM", "ACC", etc. JAMA News Release (available from iTunes) NPR podcasts are also great but I just don't have time to listen to them regularly.Īmong the video podcasts, the top 5 that I like best are:Ģ.

The other four - NEJM, JAMA, BJM and Lancet - have been experimenting with portable audio for a while now. The Annals of Internal Medicine was the latest member of the "Big Five" of general medical journals to launch a podcast. There is nothing wrong if the education is entertaining at the same time, isn't it? ACC Conversations with its in-dept analysis is much better in terms of both education and entertainment. This is especially annoying with the case reports from the Mass General Hospital. As I mentioned before, its biggest drawback is the monotonous voice of a single reader (male or female depending on the episode) and the fact that they often provide just "teases" for the articles rather than telling the listeners what is the story really about. The NEJM podcast is not bad but not great either.
I cannot really see the connection between the two but she obviously likes this finale. DeAngelis ends every podcast commenting on the windy weather in Chicago and how the patients are their top priority there.
This podcast is easier to listen to than the one by the NEJM because the editor can undoubtedly explain better why she chose a particular article for publication and why we should take the time to read it. Cleveland Clinic also has a weekly podcast but it focused primarily on patient education rather than on informing medical professionals.Ĭatherine DeAngelis, Editor-in-Chief of JAMA, summarizes and comments on each issue of the journal. One of them is Rick Lange, the Johns Hopkins chief of medicine who looks behind the medical headlines of the week. Similarly to ACC Conversations, this podcast benefits from having two speakers. In contrast, the NEJM 15-minute podcast, recorded with a single monotonous voice, is a sure recipe for sleep. Hutter has 2-3 guests on each session which makes it lively and refreshing to listen to. Here is the list of the Top 5 Podcasts I Listen To:Īmerican College of Cardiology Conversations with Experts is probably the most useful podcast for medical professionals at the moment.
I subscribe to about 40-50 podcasts in iTunes but I rarely have time to listen to more than 4-5 per week. Obviously, you have to prioritize which one to listen to unless you want to spend the whole day with your iPod on. Listening to podcasts takes time - 15-30 minutes per episode for most of them. There is not a single doctor I know who is not busy.

Almost all podcasts are free and the best way to use them is via Apple's iTunes/iPod. A podcast is a downloadable audio file that you can subscribe to and get regular updates when a new episode is released (usually weekly).
