EMRAP Alternatives?

Are you looking for merely easy CME credit or actual content?

Is it the useless rural medicine tidbits or the be kind and support mid-levels segments?

 

[MechEDoc]

EM:RAP is too much fluff and not enough focused discussion for me. It hurts to listen to.

I'm literally listening to EMRAP right now and the guy talking just apologized for saying 'physician.' He sheepishly corrected himself to 'clinician.'

They won't even use the word 'doctor' anymore. Everyone goes by their first name.

Swami recently tweeted that doctor is no different than mid-level.

I too am looking for new audio CME. They are actively devaluing our profession.

edit: Finished this month's podcast. I'm torn because I personally like the content, but the absolute lack of respect for physicians kills me and puts me in a foul mood. I unsubscribed from it in my podcast app. Will see if I can get a partial refund.

As for alternatives, I'm considering emedhome and/or hippo...

 

[Tenk]

Yeah, I recently resubscribed due to getting my CME for the year and I can’t believe how useless so much of the show is now. Without Mel doing a large portion, the show has really gone downhill.

I used to be "into" emrap, but now I'm "over" it. Looking to get "close to" something else, mostly so I don't turn into one of those out of touch docs I wouldn't let near my family, at least until it's my time to become one. Unfortunately my group subscription just re-upped, so that's gone from my CME.

If CME is your main concern for credentialing or state licensing requirements, I only use my UpToDate account. It tracks all my searches and gives 0.5 CME credits per search. It's easy to print it out and use that for any credentialing purposes.

If you're looking for something akin to EMRAP, I can't help you there. I don't listen to it a lot these days, but when I do, I find myself listening to EMA more than EMRAP.

Ooh ooh listen to meeeeeeeeee

Are you doing Annals still? I think my podcast feed probably died when my ACEP membership died.

 

[bougiecric]

For those curious, EMRAP will issue a full refund if you email them.

 

[TooMuchResearch]

Oh!

Last person I'd listen to a medical podcast by is Karl "head like a f**king orange" Pilkington.

Everything I know I learned from the Ricky Gervais show. Who doesn't want to hear a tale of sitting in a cafe watching a cat lick its bollocks?

I don't know what this is, but it just sounds quite stupid. It sounds like a Ricky Gervais thing (and he is much older than me, so it's not an age thing), but, if you are going to do it, either make it plain, or take it elsewheres.

Not understanding something doesn't mean it "sounds stupid"
It's a Ricky Gervais thing and is actually pretty witty and clever. Not sure anything needs to taken elsewhere.

No one is going to put significant effort into a CME product and not try to recruit the large mid-level customer base into their services.

You miss the point. Your disapprobation is misplaced. I don't know if your name on SDN is your given name. I don't know if your head "looks like an orange", or this is some other "Karl Pilkington", which is a name with which I am, otherwise, not familiar. And, to that, you reply with a cat licking its own testicles.

You've never seen "An Idiot Abroad" starring UK commoner Karl Pilkington?
If not, you're missing out on some of the funniest TV in existence.

No, haven't seen it. Something rings a bell about having seen a commercial for it, but I don't even recall which channel, much less anything about it.

Very fair point. But no need to openly praise midlevels and consider them equals (literally, word for word). You can market to them and leave it at that.

 

[BAM!]

if you're just looking for CME and you have UpToDate, it's super easy to rack up hours. I have more than enough hours just from looking stuff up here and there.
