Podcasts are increasingly utilized as educational tools within emergency medicine (EM). As EM residency programs seek to incorporate asynchronous educational material, it is important to ensure we are covering the full breadth of EM core content. This study sought to describe the distribution of EM core content among three popular EM podcasts.
We performed a retrospective study of the distribution of podcast topics among three popular EM podcasts from July 2011 to June 2021. We evaluated the podcast episode content and alignment with the EM core content, as defined by the Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine (MCPEM) and American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) examination distribution. Data are presented descriptively.
We identified 2759 podcast episodes, consisting of 7413 total topics and 2498.7 hours of content. The most frequently covered topics were "signs, symptoms, and presentations" (20.1% of total hours vs. 7.9% of MCPEM and 10.0% of ABEM exam) and "procedures and skills integral to the practice of emergency medicine" (14.8% of total hours vs. 8.1% of MCPEM and 8.0% of ABEM exam). The least frequently covered topics was were "immune system disorders"(0.5% of total hours vs. 2.0% of MCPEM and 2.0% of ABEM exam),"environmental disorders"(0.8% of total hours vs. 2.4% of MCPEM and 2.0% of ABEM exam), "obstetrics and gynecology" (1.0% of total hours vs. 5.4% of MCPEM and 3.0% of ABEM exam), and "cutaneous disorders" (0.9% of total hours vs. 4.3% of MCPEM and 3.0% of ABEM exam).
Our findings suggest an imbalance of MCPEM core content in three popular EM podcasts.
播客越来越多地被用作急诊医学(EM)的教育工具。由于急诊医学住院医师培训项目寻求纳入异步教育材料,确保涵盖急诊医学核心内容的全部广度非常重要。本研究旨在描述急诊医学核心内容在三个热门急诊医学播客中的分布情况。
我们对2011年7月至2021年6月期间三个热门急诊医学播客的播客主题分布进行了回顾性研究。我们评估了播客剧集内容以及与急诊医学核心内容的一致性,急诊医学核心内容由《急诊医学临床实践模式》(MCPEM)和美国急诊医学委员会(ABEM)考试分布定义。数据以描述性方式呈现。
我们识别出2759集播客,共包含7413个主题和2498.7小时的内容。最常涵盖的主题是“体征、症状和表现”(占总时长的20.1%,而MCPEM中占7.9%,ABEM考试中占10.0%)以及“急诊医学实践中不可或缺的操作和技能”(占总时长的14.8%,而MCPEM中占8.1%,ABEM考试中占8.0%)。最不常涵盖的主题是“免疫系统疾病”(占总时长的0.5%,而MCPEM中占2.0%,ABEM考试中占2.0%)、“环境疾病”(占总时长的(0.8%),而MCPEM中占2.4%,ABEM考试中占2.0%)、“妇产科”(占总时长的1.0%,而MCPEM中占5.4%,ABEM考试中占3.0%)和“皮肤疾病”(占总时长的0.9%,而MCPEM中占4.3%,ABEM考试中占3.0%)。
我们的研究结果表明,三个热门急诊医学播客中MCPEM核心内容存在不平衡。
