Abstract: Medical podcasts have grown in popularity, but little is known about their didactic methods. This study sought to systemically describe the pedagogical approach employed by the 100 most popular medical podcasts in the United States. This study also aimed to assess factors related to quality control and conflicts of interest in podcasting. The authors averaged the rank positions for Apple podcasts in the Medicine category in the United States from 06/01/18 to 09/30/20 to generate a list of the 100 highest-ranked medical podcasts. They developed and validated a categorization system of didactic methods based on Bloom's taxonomy and collected data on didactic methods, as well as podcast affiliation, target audience, format, advertising, continuing medical education (CME) offerings, and presence of a reference list or review process. Of the 100 most popular medical podcasts, 91 are educational. Of those, 51 are podcasts intended for physician education (PIPEs) while 40 are intended for other audiences, including the general public, nurses, and physical therapists. Compared with podcasts intended for other audiences, PIPEs engage higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy (p < 0.001). Among PIPEs, 18 (35.2%) are affiliated with an individual, 16 (31.4%) with a company, and 12 (23.5%) with a professional journal. 38 PIPEs (74.5%) are targeted toward all levels of medical learners. PIPEs are significantly more likely to list references or have a peer review process in place (n = 37, 72.5% vs. n = 15, 37.5%, p = 0.001) and offer CME credits (n = 20, 39.2% vs. n = 2, 5.0%, p < 0.001) than podcasts intended for other audiences. Medical podcasts employ a variety of didactic methods, including those ranked highly on Bloom's taxonomy. Unlike traditional medical education, PIPEs are commonly produced by individuals or companies and targeted to all levels of medical learners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
