Podcasts are an increasingly popular medical education modality, especially in surgical fields. However, the cost of developing a high-quality medical education podcast presents a barrier to many content creators. The authors developed the podcast series 'The Lenspod,' designed to be a cost-efficient but high-quality education resource in ophthalmology. The REC financial framework has been previously used to estimate the financial costs of technology-based medical education. Using this framework, costs were competitive with other medical education podcasts. It is our hope that similar methodology may be used to create and disseminate future podcasts for medical education.
播客是一种越来越受欢迎的医学教育模式,尤其在外科领域。然而,开发高质量的医学教育播客的成本对许多内容创作者来说是一个障碍。作者开发了播客系列“Lenspod”,旨在成为眼科领域一种具有成本效益但高质量的教育资源。REC 财务框架以前曾用于估计基于技术的医学教育的财务成本。使用这个框架,成本与其他医学教育播客具有竞争力。我们希望可以使用类似的方法来创建和传播未来的医学教育播客。
