Last week, @Marty_Fried and I presented Grand Rounds for the OSU Internal Medicine department. If you missed it, here is a lightly edited version. #IMGRPodcast https://www.pscp.tv/w/cl3D-jMyMTk0N3wxbkFKRUFhT2JEeUpMTLkTnp-JHAJ4jjlBmkrKBPpHXmawCbsz3YeKQ-DvgOY=

2/ What is #FOAMed? It's and ethos that is agnostic of platform and meant to agument traditional medical education. "When you think Podcasts, you may think Joe Rogan... I think @kidney_boy." Medical podcasts are a type of FOAM.

3/ Who? Many people listen to podcasts. Everyone from docs to APRNs to pharmacists and nurses.

4/ Why? It's fun. We get to know the hosts and guests. But, also we do it to get up-to-date and for the community. It helps us feel connected to others and helps us develop our medical identities.

5/ Podcasts are flexible. We can catch up on things while doing MUNDANE activities. But, they also help bridge the voices of experts to us. Where also refers to providing a safe low-stakes learning environment.

6/ Why?
For Background Knowledge... Those core topics traditionally done via lectures and textbooks.

For Foreground Knowledge... That "Just-in-Time" knowledge that we all need...

7/ Podcasts innovate! We see all sorts of formats and content.... The themes/categories were well described in this paper by @ShreyaTrivediMD @AdamRodmanMD https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0270929520300474

8/ @CPSolvers and @IMreasoning are Podcasts that model clinical reasoning and diagnosis.

9/ Expert Reviews are the types of episodes often seen with @COREIMpodcast @thecurbsiders @TheCribsiders @pediacast @medrants' Annals On Call and @RRBaligaMD's Must Must Know Facts.

10/ Great examples of Medical Ethics and History include @BedsideRounds and @CuriousClinPod (by @AvrahamCooperMD @HannahRAbrams @tony_breu)

11/ One of my favorite podcast that represent Expert Discussion of Clinical Research is @roundstable but also @rabihmgeha has done some fantastic work for the Hotcakes series on @thecurbsiders. Other examples include @PratsEM's Ultrasound GEL, @NephJC_Podcast and #Keylimepodcast

12/ Lastly, the Narrative Medicine category is dominated by the amazing @thenocturnists with their amazing series on "Stories from a Pandemic" and the @gradydoctor exec produced "Black Voices in Healthcare" but also smaller podcasts like @TypicallySilent's The Silent Doc.

13/FIN? @Marty_Fried tackles the second half of our talk and covers innovations in medical education, barriers and theats to widespread use and lastly a "Call to Action." Either watch the rest of the talk above or convince him to make a tweetorial as well.
