Four students—Courtney Orsbon, Sophie Shay, Kirk Cahill, and Ben Ferguson—field questions about medical school and life outside of school.

AAIM Workshop Presentation

By Pritzker Podcast

Add a comment

About a week ago, I (Ben) was in San Antonio to do a joint workshop on using social media in medical education along with some colleagues. Among them was Dr. Vinny Arora, a hospitalist and an Associate Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program here at the University of Chicago, the Assistant Dean for Scholarship & Discovery at the Pritzker School of Medicine, and an influential blogger (FutureDocs) and Twitter user (@FutureDocs).

This presentation is a brief introduction to blogs, wikis, Twitter, and podcasting in medical education, as well as current examples how they’re being used.

We also recorded and podcasted the presentation portion as well, so go check out the audio corresponding to these slides. Following the presentation, we broke into small groups to discuss each of these media in more detail. My podcasting group even recorded a short snippet of themselves!

Presentation: Podcasting in medical education

By Pritzker Podcast

1 comment

We were invited by the Department of Medicine here to give a talk about the Pritzker Podcast at its Research in Progress conference today. We thought it might be nice to make the slides from our talk available to give some idea of what podcasting in medical education is all about and how it can be applied to other aspects of medical education other than undergraduate medical admissions.

Podcasting in medical education

N.B. The word cloud on slide 27 (slide 29 by SlideShare’s count) was created on wordle.net using the audio transcripts from Episodes 1-26 of our podcast. It’s an interesting way to synthesize what we frequently talk about on the show. See a bigger version here.
