Aussie Med Ed – The Australian Medical Education Podcast

Dr Gavin Nimon has produced a podcast series, with the aim not only to educate junior doctors and other health professionals, but to capture the feeling of being in a tearoom or theatre and chatting about various medical specialties

During the Covid lock down in 2020, I realised that despite Associate Professor Peter Smitham and myself co-ordinating a transition to online learning , and commencing regular tuition, that medical students would miss out on the general banter and chat around the hospital which is an important part of learning. I felt that a podcast series with that as a premise, might be a way of replicating this. Over the period since then I have produced the following episodes.
