The Intern At Work: Internal Medicine

Author: Medicine Pods: The Intern at Work Language: English Episodes: 100
Stepping onto the hospital floor as a resident brings a unique set of questions and challenges that textbooks don't always address. The Intern At Work: Internal Medicine exists in that space, offering a peer-to-peer perspective forged directly in the wards. This is a pan-Canadian, learner-generated podcast where the hosts and creators are residents themselves, talking through the practical realities of internal medicine they encounter while on call. You'll hear discussions focused on applying knowledge in real time, aiming to make those long shifts a little more manageable and a lot more educational. Each episode is built from original scripts, crafted to dissect clinical scenarios and guidelines with the fresh eyes of someone currently in training. It’s crucial to note that this podcast is produced in Canada and often references Canadian-specific medical guidelines, making it particularly relevant for residents navigating the healthcare system there. While it serves as an excellent companion for study and practice, the content is intended for educational use and should be integrated with other essential resources for clinical management. Created by Alison Lai and the team at Medicine Pods, this series feels like a conversation with a colleague who just figured something out and is eager to share it, demystifying the daily grind of internal medicine one episode at a time.
