Welcome to Casting: The Orthopaedics Podcast for Medical Students. This episode is an overview of the learning objectives and reasons behind starting this podcast.
Multimedia medical education (MME) has become increasingly important in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, representing a trend towards asynchronous and customized free online learning in medical education. Medical students are generally lower down on the totem pole in teaching hospitals; senior Orthopaedic Surgery rotations are more useful for networking, assessing program fit, and understanding the rigors of a surgical training program.
This podcast is designed to help senior medical students make the jump to residency. We focus on the high-yield learning points for common Orthopaedic Surgery presentations. Each episode features interviews with residents to tackle educational objectives and clinical scenarios. Without further ado, here is episode 0 of Casting!
