Surgery 101 Podcast: Episodes 1–10 (Out of Print)

Abstract

Abstract This resource is a collection of podcasts designed for medical students studying surgery. Each podcast is approximately 10–15 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 includes modules on appendicitis, bowel obstruction, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gallstone disease, GI bleeding, hernias, pancreatitis, revision trauma, and thyroid masses. 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.
