Podcasts

What better way to show expertise and connect with patients on a more personal level than to create a podcast?

Both facilities bring on resident physicians to talk about a variety of health issues, from diabetes to meningitis. The format is easily digestible, very informative and definitely easier to read than an excerpt from a medical journal.
