Abstract

Podcasts serve as an easy, affordable, and on-the-go experience for listeners of all types, particularly those casually broaching a new subject they are interested in learning more about. Podcasting as a tool for pathology education has had a growing reach for several years, and has gained traction as an academic work product for medical education, promoting journals and articles, and attracting trainees to pathology. Yet, there is sparse academic literature reviewing the topic. In this article, we aim to provide a qualitative synthesis of peer-reviewed and other online sources, with objectives including introducing podcasting, reviewing its role in medical education, and exploring issues unique to pathology. National podcasting trends, advantages, and limitations of podcasts in pathology will be covered. Additionally, a comprehensive list of pathology podcasts, quantitative analysis of select podcast downloads, and practical steps for pathologists interested in creating their own podcasts will also be provided.
