Featured this week on the ProMed Network are three diverse programs serving the health care community. If you haven’t found a program, podcast, or show here on the ProMed Network that speaks to your specialty in medicine, nursing, or health care then you aren’t trying very hard.

First off this week is the brand new show for nurses called Insights in Nursing. This panel discussion show speaks to nurses, students and educators about recent news and events related to the nursing profession. This week’s program looks at how hard nurses and other health care professionals really look at research articles when they are published. Panelist Amy Romano, author of the Science and Sensibility blog, comes on to talk about her hard look at some particularly flawed meta-analysis looking at mortality and morbidity in home births. The panel has a lot of fun discussing bias in the medical industry, among health care professionals, and the media.

The next featured show this week is the excellent Medical Spanish Podcast by Dr. Molly Martin. Recently, Doc Molly has been focusing on beginner spanish for the medical professional. This week’s show is on symptoms and communicating with the Spanish speaking patient to get a good history of the problem at hand. If you haven’t checked out this show related to this important need in the field, you are missing one of the gems of medical podcasting.

Finally, Chris Montera and the gang at the EMS Garage also produce an excellent show called the EMS Leadership Podcast. This week’s show looks at the economics and budgeting of emergency medical services for your community. If you are interested in the issues surrounding providing emergency medical and rescue services in your region this show will provide you with some insights into the problems faced by a community’s emergency planners.
