Today, we received two 3rd year medical students starting their IM rotation. I told them I would give them a list of podcasts that should help them get oriented to internal medicine. This is my podcast v1.0 list:
From the Curbsiders:
142 Cirrhosis TIPS for Acute Complications
104: Renal tubular acidosis with Kidney Boy, Joel Topf MD
92: Pulmonary Embolism for the Internist
86: COPD: Diagnosis, treatment, PFTs, and nihilism
76: Pneumonia Pearls with Dr Robert Centor
61: Vasculitis and Giant-Cell Arteritis: ‘Rheum’ for improvement
52: Anemia: Tips, and tools for diagnosis and treatment
20: Hypertensive urgency and severe hypertension
From the Clinical Problem Solvers:
Hypokalemia
Hyponatremia
Abdominal Pain
Syncope
Hypercalcemia
From Core IM:
Stress Testing
Hepatic Encephalopathy
From Annals On Call:
C. Difficile
Diverticulitis
Diuretic Resistance
Each podcast above has many more excellent episodes. I picked these out on a first pass, quick suggestion for my new 3rd year students. Would appreciate suggestions for improving this list.
