We were inspired to start Dr Podcast after studying for our anaesthetic exams. We were both spending at least 2 hours a day commuting to and from work, and we thought we could put the time to much better use. Obviously it is not possible to read a text book whilst driving or cycling, however we realised a well structured podcast would be an ideal revision tool. Not only would you then be able to study when commuting, but also at many other times when revision is not normally possible - on the treadmill for example! We felt successful candidates who had recently passed the primary FRCA would be extremely well placed to give an insight into the types of questions, techniques on how to structure your response, and an example answer. We approached five experienced Consultant Anaesthetists to review and validate the podcasts that we had written. They thought this was an innovative new revision tool and therefore were happy to lend their wealth of experience and knowledge to the project. Having completed the podcasts covering the primary FRCA syllabus we are now working on podcasts for the final FRCA, so keep your ears open! We have also already commissioned colleagues in all the medical specialties to produce podcasts covering their relevant specialist examinations. So tell your friends to watch this space! |
