If you're a busy medical professional, student, or just someone with an interest in medicine and health, you can be up to date on the latest medical and scientific studies of the week by listening to PodMed, a weekly 10-minute podcast produced by Johns Hopkins Medicine. Richard Lange, MD, President of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, Dean of the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine, and professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins, and Elizabeth Tracey, MS, Director of Audio Production, conversationally examine four peer-reviewed studies and what data, if any, emerging from them may impact on medical practice.
