Customer Reviews
Best podcast!
I’m an ICU nurse who has exhausted the nursing podcast resources to the point that I didn’t feel like I was learning new clinically-relevant any more. Core IM is the perfect step up in terms of complexity! Highly recommend this podcast to anyone wanting to better understand evidence-based practice in the healthcare setting.
A vital lifeline
My current job as a military doctor has caused me to be removed from rigorous clinical practice, these podcasts mean so much to me in terms of connection w the internal medicine community I love
More Grey Area!
Loved the grey area segment. These types of cases are what makes medicine both so challenging and so awe-inspiring. It’s important we reflect on what we do to patients, especially in difficult cases. I’m hoping for more in this series
