The MedEd Podcast

Traumas are high-intensity situations that require a systematic and thorough approach to avoid loss of life or limb. Find out more about how to do that in this episode! This episode is intended solely for educational purposes and is directed at medical students. This is not meant to replace the judgment of a professional, nor is it meant to substitute the guidance given in ATLS 10th edition.

1 out of every 8 death certificates mentions heart failure in the US. This topic is relevant to just about every future practice, and is extremely high yield for your medicine shelf and licensing exams.

An older woman with a history of COPD comes into your office and would like to start medications for management of her COPD. What are you going to do? Well listen in and I'll tell you! Hey! Remember, this isn't meant to replace medical care from a licensed professional. I'm just some random guy that donates his time to talk about high-yield topics in medicine. Trust the pros. Reach out to me at mededpodcast@gmail.com if you have any questions, concerns, or kudos!

In this episode, I discuss labor management, specifically when you should consider C-section based on current evidence. There are not a lot of absolute indications for C-sections, but there are some good scenarios to consider. Patient autonomy should be maintained throughout the considerations. Remember that this is primarily for test preparation and forming a foundation for clinical knowledge. Many of these decisions require clinical expertise and are more technically nuanced than what I have described here.

High-yield review of Liver Test Abnormalities. Your patient comes in with elevated liver enzymes: do you know what to do next for diagnosis? If not, listen in! Please reach out to me at mededpodcast@gmail.com

Hey folks, I had to take a short break, I've been trying to figure out how to possibly record with everything going on and without access to a studio, but I just decided we're all going to have to be okay with hearing my kids in the background. I'm going to start putting out short, weekly episodes. I'll be focusing on high-yield clinical content. After Match day, I also want to start interviewing medical students about applications and interviews to their various specialties, and I'll see if they can afford us any invaluable advice. Thanks for your patience and understanding in this difficult time! We'll pull through this together and hopefully be stronger as a society.

A big thanks to Austin Shinagawa for being my guest on this episode! He's got some great advice that I'm sure you can't wait to hear!

And we're back! This is another mini-experiment of mine, I think something that would be really helpful is learning how to develop a good differential and learning about what tests are ordered and why. I'm taking a symptoms based approach, and I'm starting with one of the most common and important chief complaints: abdominal pain. Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone, here is a quick episode on the infectious causes of food poisoning and diarrhea. Remember, you're going to want to characterize: 1) Is the diarrhea bloody or non-bloody? 2) Was there a precipitating event (like eating a particular food, a hospital stay, or traveling) mentioned in the Hx? 3) Are there any associated symptoms? 4) Does the patient have any comorbid conditions (like AIDS) or does this patient represent a particular population (like infants, LGBT, etc).

I was still pretty congested as of this recording. This is a volunteer effort put together by medical students to bring you quality audio lectures on the topic of medicine.
