Amaç: Bu çalışmada, ulusal ölçekte kulak burun boğaz hekimleri arasında podcast farkındalığının ve kullanım sıklığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Çevrimiçi anket türündeki çalışmamız, 2021-2022 yılları arasında ‘Google forms’ (Mountain View, CA) açık web adresi üzerinden yapılmıştır. Hedef kitle, ulusal ölçekteki her yaş ve deneyim seviyesinden kulak burun boğaz hekimleridir. Anketimiz yirmi sorudan oluşmaktadır. Bulgular: Anket çalışmamızda, sorularımıza cevap veren kişi sayısı 112’dir. Bu 112 kişinin 92’ si erkek (%82,1), 20’ si kadın (%17,9)’dır. Kulak burun boğazla ilgili mesleki alanda podcast dinleyen %20,5 (n=23), dinlemeyen %79,5 (n=89) olarak izlendi. Pandemi öncesi en sık başvurulan kaynakların %40,2 (n=45) ile kitap ve %31,3 (n=35) ile e-kitap olurken, pandemide %30,4 (n=34) çevrimiçi toplantı ve %27,7 (n=31) e-kitap olduğu izlenmiştir. Pandemi öncesi ve pandemi dönemi başvurulan kaynakların sıklık karşılaştırılmasında istatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Sonuç: Süregelen pandemi bilgi kaynaklarına başvuru sıklığını etkilemiş olmasına rağmen, podcast kullanımında anlamlı bir değişikliğe neden olmamıştır. Yazarlar, bu makalenin kulak burun boğaz alanında Türkçe podcast üretmek için bir farkındalık oluşturacağını umuyorlar.
... Several institutions or journals had already developed an online presence through webinars and podcasts, such as the European Society of Medical Imaging Informatics Webinar Series (https://www.eusomii.org/webinars/) [15]. In the initial phases of travel and meeting limitations, some societies, including the Radiological Society of North America and the European Society of Radiology, streamed their annual meetings in part or entirely. ...
Background We explored perceptions and preferences regarding the conversion of in-person to virtual conferences as necessitated by travel and in-person meeting restrictions. Methods A 16-question online survey to assess preferences regarding virtual conferences during the COVID-19 pandemic and future perspectives on this subject was disseminated internationally online between June and August 2020. Findings A total of 508 responses were received from 73 countries. The largest number of responses came from Italy and the USA. The majority of respondents had already attended a virtual conference (80%) and would like to attend future virtual meetings (97%). The ideal duration of such an event was 2-3 days (42%). The preferred time format was a 2-4-h session (43%). Most respondents also noted that they would like a significant fee reduction and the possibility to attend a conference partly in-person and partly online. Respondents indicated educational sessions as the most valuable sections of virtual meetings. The reported positive factor of the virtual meeting format is the ability to re-watch lectures on demand. On the other hand, the absence of networking and human contact was recognized as a significant loss. In the future, people expressed a preference to attend conferences in person for networking purposes, but only in safer conditions. Conclusions Respondents appreciated the opportunity to attend the main radiological congresses online and found it a good opportunity to stay updated without having to travel. However, in general, they would prefer these conferences to be structured differently. The lack of networking opportunities was the main reason for preferring an in-person meeting.
... Чаще всего подкасты ассоциируются с развлечением и альтернативным каналом коммуникации традиционного средства массовой информации [14,16,18]. Однако, с помощью подкастов можно успешно решать образовательные задачи [19], в том числе для студентов-медиков [20,21], врачей [22][23][24] и медицинских сестер [25,26]. Как и социальные сети, подкасты используются врачами для обмена научной информацией [27,28]. ...
... Результаты исследований подтверждают рост популярности и спроса на подкасты, а также быстрое развитие подкастинга во многих медицинских специальностях [30]. Лидером по числу подкастов и охвату аудитории среди медицинских специальностей является интенсивная терапия [30], среди диагностических специальностей -радиология [24,30]. Подкасты, связанные со специальностью «патология» не так многочисленны. ...

Подкастинг [26,29,30] и популяризации профессии [24]. Однако, короткий жизненный цикл большинства профессиональных подкастов, выпускаемых энтузиастами, ограничивает возможности для исследования данного инструмента за пределами образовательных активностей. ...
Basic information on podcasting and podcasts is given within the publication. Also we discuss the phenomenon of medical podcasting, especially in Russia, and give some links on leading medical podcasts. Being the authors of the first Russian podcast on pathology we share our experience on creating and starting the podcast, its evolution, aims, audience and basic topics. Future perspectives and routes for development of medical podcasting as well as its role in continuous medical education are also discussed.
... Radiology podcasts have become increasingly popular in recent years, but there were none at that time serving the interests of trainees wanting to pursue a career involving academic radiology or research, and certainly not specific to the UK, so a gap existed in the market. 8 The RCR approved the proposal and the CRASH! Podcast was given the green light along with its logo (Fig 3). ...
... Podcasts are easy to use technology for instruction as it provides flexible options to lecturers for exploring varieties of approaches towards lectures. Podcasts are downloadable online resources through digital mobile technologies (Clarke et al. 2020). ...
This research contributes to knowledge in mediating effect of lecturers’ behavioural intention towards the acceptance of podcasts technology in universities. A cross-sectional quantitative research design was involved in this study. Also, a total of eight hundred and twenty-nine (829) lecturers participated in this research from three different south-west Nigeria Federal universities. The research instrument was titled lecturer’s acceptance questionnaire (LAQ) with a calculated Cronbach’s alpha of .919, which confirmed the instrument validity. The gathered data was analysed by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The formulated hypothesis was tested at .05 level of significance. The result from descriptive analysis of data suggested that behavioural intention was at a low level among lecturers and the results of hypothesis testing revealed the effect of behavioural intention as partial mediator of podcast acceptance. Based on these findings relevant conclusions and recommendations were suggested in this research.
... Although we examined a diverse sample of training programs, our focus on LinkedIn (instead of Twitter) may have biased our sample towards Europe [10]. Future studies can also examine the other offerings such as podcasts and knowledge clips, which, although are not officially framed as training programs, are often used by radiologists to learn about AI [11]. In addition, since many training programs are still emerging, future studies need to continuously examine new trends and update our findings. ...
Objectives:
The aim is to offer an overview of the existing training programs and critically examine them and suggest avenues for further development of AI training programs for radiologists.
Methods:
Deductive thematic analysis of 100 training programs offered in 2019 and 2020 (until June 30). We analyze the public data about the training programs based on their "contents," "target audience," "instructors and offering agents," and "legitimization strategies."
Results:
There are many AI training programs offered to radiologists, yet most of them (80%) are short, stand-alone sessions, which are not part of a longer-term learning trajectory. The training programs mainly (around 85%) focus on the basic concepts of AI and are offered in passive mode. Professional institutions and commercial companies are active in offering the programs (91%), though academic institutes are limitedly involved.
Conclusions:
There is a need to further develop systematic training programs that are pedagogically integrated into radiology curriculum. Future training programs need to further focus on learning how to work with AI at work and be further specialized and customized to the contexts of radiology work.
Key points:
• Most of AI training programs are short, stand-alone sessions, which focus on the basics of AI. • The content of training programs focuses on medical and technical topics; managerial, legal, and ethical topics are marginally addressed. • Professional institutions and commercial companies are active in offering AI training; academic institutes are limitedly involved.
Over the past several years, there has been a significant increase in the popularity of podcast use. The purpose of this study was to review the availability, content, and authorship of podcasts on the topic of fertility and to compare those hosted by physicians vs patients. A search for podcasts relating to the term ‘fertility’ was performed using 10 podcast platforms. Information relating to each podcast was recorded. Chi-square was used for comparison of proportions and the Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables. Of the 133 podcasts that met inclusion criteria, the most common subject was patient education (62%), followed by fertility awareness (30%), and Third Party Reproduction (13%). A majority of podcasts were hosted by patients (40%), holistic health professionals (28%), and physicians (16%). When comparing podcasts hosted by physicians vs. patients, there was no difference in overall content (p = 0.07), frequency of episodes (p = 0.77), number of episodes (p = 0.63) and number of listener ratings (p = 0.47). We conclude that many fertility podcasts exist with most hosted by patients describing their fertility experiences. Understanding the landscape of fertility podcasts will allow physicians to identify areas of interest and create content which educates and enhances connection with patients.
Purpose:
To improve understanding of podcast use in medical education by examining current research on descriptive attributes and educational outcomes, highlighting implications of the current evidence base for educational practices, and identifying research gaps to guide future investigation.
Method:
The authors conducted a scoping review, searching PubMed and Embase databases in June-July 2020 for English-language studies of audio-only medical education podcast use in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education. The authors excluded studies without original data or with nonphysician data that could not be separated from physician data. From included studies, the authors extracted data regarding descriptive outcomes (e.g., podcast use, content areas, structure) and educational outcomes (classified using Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of evaluation).
Results:
Of 491 unique articles, 62 met inclusion criteria. Descriptive outcomes were reported in 44 studies. Analysis of these studies revealed podcast use has increased over time, podcasts are a top resource for resident education, and podcasts are being incorporated into formal medical curricula. Educational outcomes were reported in 38 studies. The 29 studies that assessed learner reaction and attitudes to podcasts (Kirkpatrick level 1) showed learners value podcasts for their portability, efficiency, and combined educational and entertainment value. The 10 studies that assessed knowledge retention (Kirkpatrick level 2) showed podcasts to be noninferior to traditional teaching methods. The 11 studies that assessed behavior change (Kirkpatrick level 3) showed improved documentation skills in medical students and self-reported practice change in residents and practicing physicians after listening to podcasts. None of the studies reported system change or patient outcomes (Kirkpatrick level 4).
Conclusions:
Future research should focus on the optimal structure of podcasts for learning, higher-level outcomes of podcasts, and the implementation of podcasts into formal curricula. Podcasts may prove to be essential tools for disseminating and implementing the most current, evidence-based practices.
