Teaching Diagnostic Reasoning

Ever find yourself wondering about the real-world application of a new medical study? That’s the space where Annals On Call Podcast lives. Hosted by Dr. Bob Centor and brought to you by the American College of Physicians, each episode is built around a single, clinically influential article from the Annals of Internal Medicine. Dr. Centor doesn’t just summarize the paper; he sits down with a guest expert deeply familiar with the topic to pull it apart. What you’ll hear is a genuine, sometimes lively, conversation that digs into the nuances of the research, questions its methods and conclusions, and debates what it all means for daily practice. It’s like being a fly on the wall during a collegial but critical journal club, where complex ideas are made accessible. This podcast cuts through the noise of medical literature, offering clinicians a clearer sense of which new findings are truly ready for the bedside and which need more scrutiny. For anyone in medicine looking to stay informed beyond the abstract, it provides essential context and practical insight you won’t get from a quick read.
