Why are medical podcasts like @thecurbsiders, @BehindTheKnife, @emcrit, and @AFPpodcast so popular for learning? And who is making them? And can they be trusted?

We listened to (and coded) the top 100 podcasts on the Apple podcasts US medicine chart to find out!

There were 2⃣ inspirations for this study.

@ShreyaTrivediMD and I at @iMedEducation think that what makes digital education unique from eg an uploaded lecture on YouTube is that that it is produced as part of a virtual community of practice and not traditional institutions. Image
So we had a hypothesis: the most popular medical podcasts would *not* be produced by medical schools, residency programs, or other large institutions, but rather by individuals (or separate companies/nonprofits).

Almost exactly a year ago, I had a modestly controversial tweet about routine daily physical exams -- and about how we should probably spend more time actually talking to our patients daily rather than pretending to examine then.

Well, now that angry tweet is a point-counterpoint-rebuttal series in @JHospMedicine!

The first piece is by me and @ShaneWarnockMD, and I cut right to the point: Routine daily physical exams in hospitalized patients are a waste of time.

1⃣: the exam was historically developed as a DIAGNOSTIC test. And it remains an incredibly great diagnostic test in many instances, with innumerable examples validated through both physician experience, and more recently epidemiological studies (think McGee and Rat Clin Exam)

My (preaching to the choir) 🔥 take: digital educational skills -- whether teaching on #MedTwitter, podcasting, or making videos -- are essential #meded skills for the 21st century. And we can teach these to future educators.

A Tweetorial🧵:
Last year, @ShreyaTrivediMD @StaciSaundersMD and I at @iMedEducation started a curriculum to teach digital educational skills to our @BIDMC_IM residents.

We just published this article going over our curriculum and providing tips for you to do it too: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34013623/
We ended up integrating our curriculum into a pre-existing one-to-two week Senior Teacher rotation, which had two great benefits:

1⃣MUCH easier to get off the ground
2⃣Stressed that traditional educational principles are transferable for teaching digitally

A proposal!

Are you:

✅A listener of @BedsideRounds?
✅A medical student at a US or Canadian medical school?
✅Interested in medical history, philosophy, and epistemology?

And then question 2:

✅Do you want to collaborate on a research project?

If so, 🧵⬇️ Image
First, some details! Over the past six years, I've made a lot of podcasts (some of them better than others), and I know they're being used for teaching at medical schools across the country.
The subjects that I cover -- history, epistemology, diagnostic reasoning, philosophy -- are generally not part of medical school curricula, or are only briefly touched (though there are amazing electives).

Why do we use godawful blue-background-with-bright-yellow-text for medical school lectures?

A 🧵on magic lanterns, darkrooms, path dependence, and “things we do for no reason”

👇 Image
Projecting images is quite old, dating back to the 18th century with images painted directly on glass plates -- a magic lantern. During the Spanish Flu, the Surgeon General toured with a magic lantern with information on the pandemic. Image
As an aside, the @mfaboston had an amazing exhibit pre-pandemic called Phantasmagoria, showcasing magic lanterns and horror shows in particular. This demonstration (not a magic lantern BTW) on animalcules in the Thames was my favorite

@COREIMpodcast Interesting thread, though some very common misconceptions about "primum non nocere" are present here. First do no harm is not in the Hippocratic Oath at all, and the "non-malfeasance" present in oath would likely make most modern doctors squeamish.
@COREIMpodcast It has diktats against performing abortion, and against physician-assisted suicide. Even the commonly cited "do not cut for stone" isn't because of preventing harm, but suggesting that a lithotomist do it.

(good translation here: nlm.nih.gov/hmd/greek/gree…)
@COREIMpodcast The closest quote comes from Epidemics I:

"The physician must ... have two special objects in view with regard to disease, namely, to do good or to do no harm"
