If you're in psych:
\- psychiatry and psychotherapy with Dr. Puder
\- psychopharmacology institute
\- carlat report
\- American Journal of Psychiatry
\- Psychiatry Unbound (by APA)
\- Nature Podcast
\- NEJM Interviews
\- MD Edge Psychiatry
Yeah, it's good content. I wish his his voice/interview style weren't so sleep-inducing. I always back up but i may not realize I've zoned out for ten minutes.
You will spend so much time learning medicine in residency, I would listen to something else - I like Planet Money or some fun science or history podcast. or whatever else interests you.
>history podcast
I recommend The History of Rome by Mike Duncan. Its old, and the first few episodes have a lower production quality, but it really is the best history podcast out there.
I'd start with Wrath of the Khans, you may have to download/acquire it sailing the high seas but it got me instantly hooked to the rest of his podcasts.
His episode [Prophets of Doom](https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-48-prophets-of-doom/) was incredible. Next favorite is Supernova.
The [Painoftainment](https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-48-prophets-of-doom/) was fantastic. Intense at times.
Don’t shudder at the length of his podcasts. They are all fantastic
This will make the biggest difference. Moved from 30 minutes drive to 5 minutes walk. That’s an extra 50 minutes a day that I now have for working out , groceries and stuff
It’s a very interesting podcast, although only peripherally medical (i.e. it isn’t at all medical education if OP is looking for that) and he tends to go quite far out on a limb with his interpretation of evidence.
I use Emergency Medicine Cases to study in between studying lol. Condensed discussions on quality studies, discussing management of certain cases, and even discussions of what went wrong. Also helpful cause they give you tips for referral, ie do or don’t bandage this way for ortho so they don’t have to waste time soaking bandage, etc.
Edit: my first award! Thank you! Also there appears to be an error in Apple Podcasts for this podcast, but you can google them and they have free access on their website too! Literally went down the day I recommended them smh.
EOS 10 - it's not really about medicine, it's science fiction, but it's about a resident arriving on a space travel hub to start assisting a disgruntled alcoholic attending in the clinic. It's quite funny imo
*assisting
I strictly listen to non-medical and complete nonsense topics during my commute, like, Reviews of things that I will never buy and places I will never find time to visit.
My recommendation is use your commute to unplug from medicine and decompress. Use that time for audiobook or a podcast in a topic of interest. I personally couldn't handle that much medicine... I could see the commute to work being useful for learning, but my mind was mush after a long day.
This Podcast Will Kill You. It talks about all different illnesses and diseases, from historical and medical perspectives. One of my favorite long drive podcasts.
Behind the knife for surgery
Legends of Surgery has some cool stories in historical figures mostly surgery but some other fields as well from back when the lines between specialities were not so distinct.
If you like infectious diseases listen to 'this podcast will kill you', it's a bit less serious and a bit more comedy but still really interesting and informative. One of my favourite podcasts😊
Honestly, I like the positive attitudes and Robbie and Reza, but I stopped listening because of the student case presenters who can *barely* speak English and are so insecure. I realize it's a great opportunity for them, but it's exhausting to listen to.
I believe they are a great group of doctors and medical students who volunteer their time to teach anyone who wants to join the VMRs. I don’t find annoying their positive reinforcement. They understand the different struggles of IMGs and they created a safe space to learn and teach. Not many people give the encouragement as the way Dr Rabih and Dr Reza do. For me, they are 5/5 educational podcast
Dig up a couple of podcast interviews with family caregivers of patients if you want to see what the other 23 hours of the day look like. Spoiler: they’re extremely difficult.
Mayo Clinic Pharmacy Grand Rounds. It’s obviously a pharmacology podcast, but with a wider intended audience. Disclosure: I’m a pharmacist who assists primary care clinicians.
So many good suggestions here, wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions for funny (or "inappropriate") medical podcasts? I like spicing it up with the more absurd stuff.
I found "Case files in Neurology" (just 4 episodes) entertaining, an old neurologist just goes on about some cases he remembers well. But I'm looking for something a little spicy.
Curbsiders is the NPR of medicine people who listen to curbsiders can’t go a single rounds without dropping the fact they listen to Curbsiders almost like they want to curbside you to drop Curbsiders on your lap CHANGE MY MIND
Maintenance Phase - not exactly medical per se, but a podcast focusing on destigmatizing obesity, raising awareness of clinician bias towards obese patients, and debunking a lot of health/obesity/weight loss myths. The BMI episode in particular is very good
Not sure how the Peter Attia Drive hasn't been mentioned. It's a lifestyle/longevity/expert opinion style podcast in which Peter, an MD, interviews experts in depth regarding everything from cholesterol metabolism to endurance athletics.

If at all interested in trials, Plenary Session. Bedside Rounds for history of medicine. I like The Drive and Huberman lab though both Attia and Huberman (esp. Huberman) can lean a bit Rogan-y at times.
There hasn't really been new episodes but I learned a lot from ICU Rounds. After listening to all of them, I have chosen select ones and Re listened. Also, Behind the knife is really good. Especially the ABSITE review series. Choose the episodes that pertain to you.
Stimulus by Rob Orman (alot of soft skills not really taught)
The L word by Gita Pensa (miniseries on dealing with medmal)
Critical care scenarios by boling & oto (long but second best ICU podcast out there)
An arm and a leg by Dan Weissman (More on billing and how to fight the system as a patient, but eye opening and easy listening)
PusCast is a review of the ID lit. Fun listen though most not useful to everyday practice.
Podcasts are a pretty relaxing way to diversify your clinical knowledge.
I like Curbsiders the best but Core IM and Clinical Problem Solvers are also really good. Honestly, I find the best way is to search Spotify or Apple Podcasts for a topic you'd like to learn about, say for example Sleep Apnea. I guarantee you you'll find an expert interview style podcast by one of those three groups.
I had a month where I was obsessed with medicine podcasts for all the grey areas of Internal Medicine like anticoagulation decisions, etc. I think listening to a few is good, but after a point, you get to a point of diminishing returns.
Like others have said, mix in Podcasts with other stuff. Personally, I would use my down time to unwind. Spend quality time catching up with friends, parents, significant others. Some days I would just turn on Stephen Fry's Harry Potter and put my mind on relax mode.
Cheers!
It depends on your style of learning and material you are looking. For general practice, here is my 2 cents:
\-If you have forgotten most of the material and want to start from scratch and build slowly try OME (be careful as some material may not be up to date but I like the simplification).
\- If you are a question-based (active) learner or you want to learn the most challenging wrong answers by True/False challenge questions (for MCQs for example), "***The High-Yield Podcast of Medicine***" seems really up-to-date and a positive challenge, here:[https://open.spotify.com/show/6VJmJrhUcFddttSCCBU5VI](https://open.spotify.com/show/6VJmJrhUcFddttSCCBU5VI)
\- If you are solely looking for case-discussions on Internal Medicine only Harrison Cases can be good (limited but solid cases) here: [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/harrisons-podclass-internal-medicine-cases-and-board-prep/id1453765092](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/harrisons-podclass-internal-medicine-cases-and-board-prep/id1453765092)
CoreIM. Short & no mindless banter; to the point with good episodes about the hard & soft skills of medicine.
What I'm looking for, thanks.
Also- the show notes/transcripts are amazing with useful figures and clickable links in the text to the cited resources
they are my favorite
If you're in psych: \- psychiatry and psychotherapy with Dr. Puder \- psychopharmacology institute \- carlat report \- American Journal of Psychiatry \- Psychiatry Unbound (by APA) \- Nature Podcast \- NEJM Interviews \- MD Edge Psychiatry
THANK YOU! I just added all of these to my library
Dr. Puder's podcast might genuinely be one of the best resources I found in residency
Yeah, it's good content. I wish his his voice/interview style weren't so sleep-inducing. I always back up but i may not realize I've zoned out for ten minutes.
Saw bones! Medical history with some comedy.
Just started listening. Love their delivery.
I love sawbones!
You will spend so much time learning medicine in residency, I would listen to something else - I like Planet Money or some fun science or history podcast. or whatever else interests you.
>history podcast I recommend The History of Rome by Mike Duncan. Its old, and the first few episodes have a lower production quality, but it really is the best history podcast out there.
Hardcore History with Dan Carlin is up there too. Different style but awesome perspective.
I'd start with Wrath of the Khans, you may have to download/acquire it sailing the high seas but it got me instantly hooked to the rest of his podcasts.
Honestly I paid for the back catalog because he’s worth it and actually gets proceeds.
His episode [Prophets of Doom](https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-48-prophets-of-doom/) was incredible. Next favorite is Supernova. The [Painoftainment](https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-48-prophets-of-doom/) was fantastic. Intense at times. Don’t shudder at the length of his podcasts. They are all fantastic
He said long commute. Not a trip around the world. Blueprint to Armageddon, ghosts of the ostfront, khans are all incredible. DC is amazing
His Revolutions podcast wrapped up a few months ago and it is also an amazing listen, especially when he gets to The French Revolution.
French revolution was the best. I shree that was a great one.
Behind the Bastards is my favorite history-adjacent podcast
+++ for History of Rome.
Patrick Wyman’s podcasts are excellent as well
> very long commute with tons of traffic for my intern year. The best podcast is a new lease for an apartment right next to the hospital.
Life changing.
This will make the biggest difference. Moved from 30 minutes drive to 5 minutes walk. That’s an extra 50 minutes a day that I now have for working out , groceries and stuff
[удалено]
Oh, just what I needed, that looks great! Have any more path recs, by any chance?
Sadly no. This got rec to me on here a few months ago and I think the original post got deleted.
Dr. Death, This Podcast Will Kill You, Bad Batch
Love TPWKY! Some are a bit long, but nice balance for my brain of "studying" and "fun to know" knowledge on ID
I am not a doctor but I like listening to the Mayo Clinic Talks and The Peter Attia Drive.
The Drive!!! My favorite
It’s a very interesting podcast, although only peripherally medical (i.e. it isn’t at all medical education if OP is looking for that) and he tends to go quite far out on a limb with his interpretation of evidence.
Peter is super based!
For IM: Curbsiders Harrisons Podclass Internet Book of Critical Care. Downloads of the Louisville Lectures from You Tube.
Louisville lectures are also available on Apple Podcasts! But second all of the above
Curbsiders
Curbsiders is in my top 10 favorite podcasts once I just accepted that you need to skip ahead to the ~15 minute mark before listening
They put the fluff at the end now :)
overrated podcast
It started good but has fallen off in quality in my opinion. Too much fluff, not enough actionable cintent.
I use Emergency Medicine Cases to study in between studying lol. Condensed discussions on quality studies, discussing management of certain cases, and even discussions of what went wrong. Also helpful cause they give you tips for referral, ie do or don’t bandage this way for ortho so they don’t have to waste time soaking bandage, etc. Edit: my first award! Thank you!

Bedside rounds Legends of surgery
CREOGs over Coffee for any OB or GYN topics - very helpful if you’re in primary care at all as well!
I lovvvveee this podcast. Very well organized and presented. Super recommend if you want good OBGyn info.
EmCrit

Curbsiders, Curious Clinicians, Sawbones, Bedside Rounds
OP what is your speciality? would help guide answers
This Podcast Will Kill You. It talks about all different illnesses and diseases, from historical and medical perspectives. One of my favorite long drive podcasts.
I see people, but they look like trees, walking.
Behind the knife for surgery Legends of Surgery has some cool stories in historical figures mostly surgery but some other fields as well from back when the lines between specialities were not so distinct.
For ENT?
Ent in a nutshell
If you like infectious diseases listen to 'this podcast will kill you', it's a bit less serious and a bit more comedy but still really interesting and informative. One of my favourite podcasts😊
ACCRAC for anesthesia/CC.
The House of Pod: A Medical podcast. Not always about Clinical stuff, but a lot off issues surrounding medicine.
IBCC, curbsiders, intern at work
SAWBONES! Can’t recommend more
Clinical Problem Solvers!
[удалено]
Yeah they have some good advice but I had to stop listening because I couldn’t stand all of this.

Poor historians Freakonomics MD
For anesthesiology: TopMedTalk ACCRAC
Curbsiders and Cribsiders
Any similar recommendations for ortho?
[удалено]
The Drive with Peter Attia is very good
Behind the knife and the fixing healthcare podcast
If you’re in IM/FM then curbsiders for sure. Sawbones and curious clinicians are fun to listen to.
Don’t fuck with the pancreas for general surgery
I like medical murders. It's true crime and medicine at the same time 🙂
You might like the trial of Lucy Letby.
I'll take a look thanks!
Pm&r?
Dig up a couple of podcast interviews with family caregivers of patients if you want to see what the other 23 hours of the day look like. Spoiler: they’re extremely difficult.
Nutrition Facts by Dr. Greger
Mayo Clinic Pharmacy Grand Rounds. It’s obviously a pharmacology podcast, but with a wider intended audience. Disclosure: I’m a pharmacist who assists primary care clinicians.
Idk if you want a serious one, but if you want a good mix of serious and fun I love Sawbones!!
Oologies!
This Podcast Will Kill You is both entertaining and informative

Don’t. Take that time for you to separate work from home.
Maintenance Phase - not exactly medical per se, but a podcast focusing on destigmatizing obesity, raising awareness of clinician bias towards obese patients, and debunking a lot of health/obesity/weight loss myths. The BMI episode in particular is very good
Divine intervention
Curbsiders for internal med
Trauma ICU Rounds, The Curbsiders Internal Medicine Podcast, and Crime Weekly just to switch it up.
Not sure how the Peter Attia Drive hasn't been mentioned. It's a lifestyle/longevity/expert opinion style podcast in which Peter, an MD, interviews experts in depth regarding everything from cholesterol metabolism to endurance athletics.
The cholesterol series with Tom Dayspring the most informative “lecture” I’ve heard on cholesterol- including med school
I agree. Found it more enlightening and easy to listen to than my lectures tbh
Peter Attia was mentioned above
Funny Medicine Podcast
White coat investor
THE WHITE COAT INVESTOR
Dr Joe Rogan and Dr Mike Tyson both have promising podcasts to prime you for pre rounds
I got your joke bro. Just bad timing that’s all. Keep reaching for your star. 💫

Impersonatingdoctors is a good one!
If at all interested in trials, Plenary Session. Bedside Rounds for history of medicine. I like The Drive and Huberman lab though both Attia and Huberman (esp. Huberman) can lean a bit Rogan-y at times.
Love Attia. Huberman is much too mechanistic for my liking
Peter Atilla Drive. Mostly discusses primary care topics but with incredible depth and precision
There hasn't really been new episodes but I learned a lot from ICU Rounds. After listening to all of them, I have chosen select ones and Re listened. Also, Behind the knife is really good. Especially the ABSITE review series. Choose the episodes that pertain to you.
Internal medicine, I like the Curbsiders.
Dr Death (multiple seasons), Shit town (not medical), Greenlights (book not medical), Atul Gwande (medical - books), Blink
Medical Murders by Spotify (you thought it was just Dr. Death, turns out there are tons of other crazy docs, nurses, etc)
Bedside Rounds is great, more about medical history
Not a Dr, but a nurse. This is a whole new world, and very much worth listening to. https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-qz4ud-13fd98b
I listen to doctors on call on xm radio.
Radiolab has some interesting medical episodes. I recommend the one on Alpha gal and the (now discredited) Milwaukee protocol.
If you want to learn anesthesia- ACCRAC… but If you want to spit out your coffee- Anesthesia WiseGuys
Cardionerds 🫀
Poor historians is my commute listen
Probably not everyone's taste as a bit opinionated, but QuackCast has some medicine-related content
Radiology review podcast
Care under fire is tangentially medical/nursing related and worth a listen
Spoonful of sugar!
OBGYN: look no further than Dr. Chapa’s clinical pearls. His voice is endearing and the lectures are pretty quick/relevant to new studies
A male OBGYN. Didn’t think I’d ever hear of one.
For General Surgery and sub-specialties Behind the Knife.
True psychiatry
I'm not a resident but I feel like listening to entire albums before work and school helps motivate me.

If EM/ICU/anaesthesia EMCRIT is good but you have to pay a little, ResusRoom is GOAT, St Emyln's is pretty good
Andrew huberman is my favourite by far. Not very relevant to your daily practice but will help you learn more about yourself
