Keeping up with the flood of new medical research can feel like a full-time job on top of your actual one. That’s where Last Week in Medicine comes in. Hosted by practicing physicians Stephen Jenkins and Austin Rupp, this weekly audio digest is built for clinicians, students, and anyone deeply interested in evidence-based medicine who needs a practical filter for the noise. Instead of spending hours scrolling through tables of contents, you get a curated review of significant findings from top-tier journals like The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and the JAMA Network, all discussed in a conversational, accessible tone. Each episode breaks down the methodology and clinical implications of recent studies, offering context you won’t find in an abstract. It’s designed to fit into a commute or a workout, transforming dense literature into actionable insight. By tuning in, you’re not just getting updates; you’re hearing two doctors analyze what these advances mean for real-world practice, from hospital medicine to outpatient care. This podcast serves as your ongoing medical education, covering a broad spectrum that includes mental health, fitness, and alternative approaches, all through a rigorous, internal medicine lens.
