Welcome to the home of one of the top (typically in the top 5) medical podcasts in Canada.

The podcasts are presented by James McCormack and Michael Allan and produced by Chris Adlparver. They are aimed at family physicians, pharmacists and other practitioners but the content may also appeal to interested patients. We try to promote healthy skepticism and critical thinking and most of the podcasts are presented in a case-based approach. We also try to inject some humour into the whole process to make the learning more interesting. Occasionally we have great guests like Bob Rangno, Adil Virani, and Mike Kolber help us out.

The overriding messages are:

Be familiar with the evidence (not critical appraisal) for the conditions you treat

Start with low doses unless the condition is life-threatening

Engage patients in shared-informed decision-making by discussing with them their risk without treatment, their risk with treatment, and any potential adverse effects including cost
