Audio podcasts files are still a popular way for medical students, residents, and faculty to keep up to date about Emergency Medicine topics. They are much more portable than video-based lectures since you can be doing other things while listening to the podcasts. Many great audio lectures are available with paid subscription to such services as EM-RAP and Emedhome.com, among many others.
However, my good friend Joe has amassed hundreds of open-source podcasts which are available for free download. Dr. Joe Lex is the legendary from Temple University and THE MAN behind many of the educational events for AAEM and the previous Mediterranean EM Congresses (Valencia, Nice, Sitges...). He's doing this to help out the global EM community. You can listen to these in your car, on the shuttle, or while on a nice walk around your neighborhood.Click on this link to download the Excel list of files. The files are housed in YouSendIt.com.
Speakers range from budding to established speakers in EM. Lectures were compiled from many events, including Temple Grand Rounds, the recent Giant Steps CME conference, the 2008 AAEM Scientific Assembly, 2008 Cancun EM Conference, 2009 Carribean EM Congress, and 2009 Manchester Critical Care.
I totally forgot that I had signed my release for these audio recordings, and I'm happy to see my Vascular Tricks and Tricks of the Trade talks appear. I know it's odd, but I've never listened to my own talks. Too self-conscious. If you listen to them, don't tell me!
