{"pk":16969,"title":"An Evaluation of Emergency Medicine Core  Content Covered by Podcasts","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Podcasts are used broadly for learning in emergency medicine (EM); however, there is concern about the potential for knowledge gaps for learners who rely on podcasts for their learning. The extent to which EM podcasts cover the core curriculum of EM is not known; thus, we sought to quantify the extent to which podcasts represent the core content of our specialty.\nMethods: We performed a retrospective review of all EM podcast episodes published in 2019. All podcasts were given credit for the content they covered as it related to the 2016 American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) Model of Clinical Practice in Emergency Medicine (EM Model). The primary outcome was a description of how podcasts represented the ABEM EM Model content topics compared to the topic representation of the ABEM Qualifying Exam.\nResults: We included 54 unique EM podcast programs and 1,193 podcast episodes. They covered 2,965 total EM Model core content topics. The topics most covered were “other” (which includes interpersonal skills and professionalism), procedures, and signs and symptoms. Musculoskeletal, hematology, and environmental each accounted for less than 1% of all topics covered. Almost three-quarters of podcast episodes covered other core competencies of the practice of EM.\nConclusion: Podcasts had a broad yet imbalanced coverage of the ABEM EM Model core content subtopics in 2019, with a notable coverage of other core competencies of the practice of EM. Learners, educators, and scholars should be mindful of these gaps and focus future work on exploring how podcasts should best be used in EM education.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
