Health-Related Podcasts


We've talked about podcasts briefly in class before. As you'll recall (or may already know), podcasting is a method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio programs or music videos, over the Internet for playback on mobile devices and personal computers.

I've been wondering when and how people are going to start using podcasting for health-related purposes, and I came across a terrific resources from the University of Denver and Health Sciences Center. Here, they explain what podcasting is, and how to create a podcast, and they also provide links to a number of health-related uses of podcasting.

Some of the major uses for podcasting and health are for journals, Grand Rounds, subject specialities for health professionals, education for medical students, and as a resources for patient info.
