Podcasts are a new and growing resource that can be downloaded from the internet to computers and portable media devices, and can thus be consumed at an individual’s leisure. Meddialog’s podcasts can be accessed on demand as it is portable. The on-demand nature of podcasts has clear benefits for shift-working doctors —you might miss a scheduled lecture, but you can’t miss a podcast. Most of the clinicians commute long distances to work and also spend several hours a week exercising or pursuing other activities. Such people could make more efficient use of this time by listening to podcasts. Our podcasts provide overviews of topics and cover various relevant clinical aspects, those that focus on research and finally those that cover the latest news stories in medicine. We refer to these as educational podcasts, research podcasts and news podcasts respectively
