Podcasts are increasingly utilized as educational tools within emergency medicine (EM). As EM residency programs seek to incorporate asynchronous educational material, it is important to ensure we are covering the full breadth of EM core content. This study sought to describe the distribution of EM core content among three popular EM podcasts. We performed a retrospective study of the distribution of podcast topics among three popular EM podcasts from July 2011 to June 2021. We evaluated the podcast episode content and alignment with the EM core content, as defined by the Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine (MCPEM) and American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) examination distribution. Data are presented descriptively. We identified 2759 podcast episodes, consisting of 7413 total topics and 2498.7 hours of content. The most frequently covered topics were "signs, symptoms, and presentations" (20.1% of total hours vs. 7.9% of MCPEM and 10.0% of ABEM exam) and "procedures and skills integral to the practice of emergency medicine" (14.8% of total hours vs. 8.1% of MCPEM and 8.0% of ABEM exam). The least frequently covered topics was were "immune system disorders"(0.5% of total hours vs. 2.0% of MCPEM and 2.0% of ABEM exam),"environmental disorders"(0.8% of total hours vs. 2.4% of MCPEM and 2.0% of ABEM exam), "obstetrics and gynecology" (1.0% of total hours vs. 5.4% of MCPEM and 3.0% of ABEM exam), and "cutaneous disorders" (0.9% of total hours vs. 4.3% of MCPEM and 3.0% of ABEM exam). Our findings suggest an imbalance of MCPEM core content in three popular EM podcasts.
