Surgery 101 Podcast: Episodes 51–60

Abstract

Abstract This resource is a collection of podcasts that serve as brief introductions to or reviews of surgical topics for medical students. Each podcast is approximately 10 to 15 minutes long so that learners can quickly get a good idea of the basic concepts involved. Every episode is divided into chapters and concludes with several key points to summarize the topic. This particular collection of podcasts covers the parotid gland, evidence in surgical practice, pediatric orthopedics, the surgery clerkship, tips for surgical students, and the surgical consult. These podcasts have been very well received by local students and have been downloaded more than 25,000 times from iTunes. Please note that these podcasts are only intended as brief introductions for medical students as the authors could not delve into the more complex nuances of advanced surgery in a 10-minute podcast. All listeners are encouraged to supplement their learning by seeing patients, assisting at surgeries, and reading widely.
