What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The staff and residents do a wonderful job. I just finished listening to every single recorded episode and it the quality continues to improve. This is my go-to podcast for medicine. Currently a senior FM resident outside Pittsburgh. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the good work.

Love the podcast!! Great evidence based overviews, succinct and not too dry Personally, I appreciate some of the jokes and transitions - makes me smile while reviewing the topics. Thank you for the podcast!

This is an excellent resource and enjoyable listen. There is a lot of overlap between family practice and emergency medicine. The hosts are engaging, and I don’t understand those who are complaining about the banter and humor, which I think make the podcast better. I am a 30+ year practicing emergency physician, and I would recommend this to all primary care providers.

I listen to a half dozen medical podcasts and find the Univ of Ariz residents doing the best job of providing quick, clinically useful and accurate information. Kudos to the podcasters and the AAFP. Terry Rivers, MD FAAFP, FACEP

Imagine patients missing key information because the physician doesn’t face them when talking or speaks too softly. My colleagues and I have to keep turning the volume up and down to listen to these podcasts. Please speak at a normal volume and cadence. Otherwise great summaries, enthusiasm and insight. Keep it up! Once in a while, the recommendations for a treatment don’t match the data or seem up front. If 80 people have to take an expensive, uncomfortable or inconvenient treatment for five years to prevent one adverse event, then maybe it’s not the best option?
