About us
The idea for MedTalk came about when we started placements as excited and apprehensive medical students stepping into the wards for the first time, trying to understand the mysterious art of clinical reasoning. We discovered a love for podcasts as a time-saving study resource and wanted to create something that was specific to Australia and targeted at students and junior doctors. This website contains all of the content we produce. Join us for interviews with incredible clinicians with a strong passion for medicine and teaching clinical reasoning. We really hope that this website and the podcast are effective and efficient study resources for you.
