Podcasts/Social Media
Useful and entertaining podcasts and social media accounts that discuss medical topics.
Regarding Ethical Issues we would suggest to listen to "The Moral Maze" at BBC Radio 4 with many interesting and relevant episodes, e.g.,
The future of the NHS
Is it moral to refuse the vaccine?
Inequality
How do we make a longer life a moral one?
Sharp Scratch is a podcast by the BMJ oriented at medical students. With the podcast including medical students, junior doctors and expert guests they discuss the 'culture' of being a medical student, as well as anecdotes from their own experiences. In their own words, they "discuss all the things you need to know to be a good doctor, but that medical school doesn’t teach you."
The RSM divides into several podcasts the latest medical information, making for an easily navigable goldmine on a variety of topics, from Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, to orthopaedics and much more. However, this podcast is designed for medical practitioners and doctors, so, as a student it can be complex at times. Despite this, it's definitely worth plunging into the deep end and giving it a listen!
