My goal for intern year was to create a strong foundation for diagnosing common problems in medicine and this podcast has really helped with that. My attendings think I am advanced for my class due to the simply fact that I listen to this podcast on my commute to work and from work. I can’t recommend this podcast enough.

This is the first podcast about medical diagnoses that I find engaging enough to listen to while jogging! It’s applicable wether you are a student or just want a fun way to review.

Must listen podcast for all medical students! Excellent flow, and expert knowledge make it a joy to listen. Would absolutely love Dr. Cifu to make a trainee level critical appraisal podcasts that further integrates the importance of EBM in medical training. Or just any recommendations to start the journey myself haha.

As an experienced educator and longtime clinician I have found these podcasts to be fabulous. Adam and Scott are remarkably engaging and have great chemistry. Their pearls, pet peeves and fingerprints are very useful and I learn several new things on every podcast. I've been recommending them widely to our students, residents and faculty. I HIGHLY recommend checking these out. And they're the perfect length--about 30-32 minutes which, I think, is just the right length for a podcast to keep your attention. Remarkably well done.

I find these podcasts to be helpful as a medical student. However, the fat shaming in the “Weakness” episode is completely unnecessary. It doesn’t add to the case, and if anything discredits the host. He literally admitted that he didn’t bother to get the patient up during the initial exam because of her size, despite likely knowing that the weakness was worse with walking to the restroom. This poor physical exam led to him blowing off the full assessment of her chief complaint (weakness), until the next day when she insisted it was worse. This woman literally had to fall on the ground before her complaint was taken seriously. Turns out, she had a time sensitive spinal cord abscess and every moment wasted was risky. Rather than realizing and awknowledging this harmful bias in this case review, these guys chose to laugh about “breaking a sweat” to get her out of bed.
This podcast is directed toward medical education, and that behavior and lack of acknowledgement is an invite to continue this toxic cycle into the next generation of physicians. I urge you to check your biases and treat everyone with compassion to avoid careless mistakes such as the one made in this case. Listen to women, listen to fat people, believe them, do better.
