Podmedics was setup by Dr Ed Wallitt in 2008 with the aim of producing high quality educational podcasts for undergraduates. All the Podmedics podcasts are aimed specifically at medical students, and outline key principles and concepts. They allow material encountered in the lecture theatre and hospital to be better understood, and ultimately recalled.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
A great for reviewing/revisiting concepts/topics. Concise and easy to understand. Would love to see more!!
Functional seizures
I would just like to point out that pseudo seizures in this podcast have been described as “faking it”. Perhaps that is correct. But there are also functional seizures which are in no relation to “faking it”. I’m no Dr but I can explain a functional seizure like this : Some people experience anxiety and their body responds by going red in the face or sweating. For some people, that anxiety causes a seizure. Little seems to be known, understood or accepted about this. But I feel it’s worth noting. Otherwise I find this podcast very informative.
great podcast for med students
I'm an australian medical student in my second final year and I love this podcast.
The discussion based podcasts are probably my favourite.
Also great that they have accompanying images.
I'm in my clinical years so this podcast has pretty much replaced lectures for me, they are fantastic, keep up the good work!
PS if I could make a request it would be awesome to get some Opthal??
cheers
