Pomegranate Health

pomegranatehealth_250

Welcome to Pomegranate Health, a podcast about the culture of medicine. You’ll hear clinicians, academics and advocates discuss some big questions; How to difficult clinical and ethical decisions free from cognitive bias? How can communication with patients and peers be improved? And how to deliver healthcare most equitably and efficiently?

This is also the home of [IMJ On-Air], where authors from the College's Internal Medicine Journal present their work. [Journal Club] showcases RACP academics published in other journals. Meanwhile, the [Case Report] series is developed to guide Basic Physician Trainees on presentation of long-cases at their examinations.   

Why a pomegranate? The fruit has featured on the coat of arms of the Royal College of Physicians of London since 1546. Listen here for the unlikely tale of how it made its way from ancient myth onto this podcast by way of Henry VIII.

Please continue the discussion in the comments section for each episode and send any feedback or ideas to podcast@racp.edu.au
