Listen & earn CME credi that love the show mention:The JAMA Clinical Reviews podcast is an exceptional resource for healthcare professionals looking to stay up-to-date on the latest ideas and innovations in medicine, science, and clinical practice. As a UK based GP, I have found listening to these interviews while driving into work to be incredibly valuable, both for myself and my patients.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the high-quality production and scripting.

The hosts do an excellent job of providing historical perspectives and broad overviews of topics, while also delving into detailed information when necessary. This balance between breadth and depth makes the content both informative and enjoyable.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its focus on practical application. The discussions often include tips and insights that can be directly applied in clinical practice. This makes the information relevant and immediately useful for healthcare professionals like myself.
However, one potential downside of this podcast is that some episodes may not be applicable to all listeners. As a GP, I appreciate the wide range of topics covered, but there may be episodes that are more relevant to specialists or researchers in certain fields. It would be helpful if there was a way to filter episodes based on specialty or area of interest.
