This is more of a personal blog, but offered from the perspective of an OB-GYN. There are several stories offered in post format that really let you see what life is like in this profession. What is unique about this blog is that although the stories are quite personal, the doctor involved remains very private, sharing only minor details about who she is.
These podcasts take a practical look at how doctors can actually use the information they collect. There are also research updates discussed in these audio files, sometimes with high levels of technicality. One of their top podcasts offered (at the time of writing) was “Automated brain volumetrics in MS, plus migraine and psychiatric co-morbidities.” The audio files can be directly accessed from the site as well – a definite bonus.
