Thank you for this content. I am an RN with 10+ years in the ED, and I listen to deepen my knowledge and brush up. This podcast checks so many boxes. Very educational and relatable. Love the way each episode is topic focused. Thanks!!!

I love your podcasts they have helped me so much in my work and are perfect for commuting to hospital. High yield is an understatement.

These episodes are short, sweet, to the point and valuable. I listen to these podcasts on my way to work, on my way home from work, and they are always useful. The facts are demonstrated, easy ways to remember things are demonstrated, and the delivery is good as well. Would recommend will continue.

This podcast is invaluable for me as a paramedic. Getting to know the likely clinical course for these different illnesses is awesome.

I love this podcast. It’s as entertaining as it is educational. I’m an ER nurse and this podcast has been so educational in teaching me what to anticipate. I love playing right along with med students. I look forward to each new episode! The deep dives are also so great!!!! Thanks for all your efforts in making and sharing this podcast!!!!

EM Clerkship has been my go to throughout my clinical year of PA school. I started listening during my ER rotation and it was so helpful and I just couldn’t stop listening even after going to a new rotation. The information is solid and presented in a way that’s entertaining and engaging. 11/10 recommend!!

I am about to venture off to clinical year of PA school in 2 short months and I wish I had found this podcast sooner. I cannot say enough good things about it; it’s extremely informative in a more simple and entertaining manner than conventional materials. I love listening to the residents go through their interview/thought process of a work up so I can engrave it more into my mental memory. I love the little 10-15 minute deep dives for when that’s all my brain can handle. It’s absolutely amazing and I hope you guys keep making content. Future providers appreciate it so much.

This is an awesome adjunct to my clinical training during PA school. I love the patient case episodes and the follow up episodes that go in depth about the topic. I’d recommend to anyone going through school or residency right now as an MD/DO, PA, or NP.

This podcast is great for learners of all levels. I used it as a PA student and at running through the episodes again as I enter an APP EM residency. I love how there are series and how the show’s progressed.

This podcast is truly a gem! The information is clinically relevant & the hosts are both very engaging.

Honestly so helpful as an MS3. Brief episodes (aka you can actually have the bandwidth to pay attention) and covers the highest yield pearls.

This podcast is a game changer. I never hesitate to recommend it to classmates, as it is engaging, entertaining, and spot on! Many of the topics covered appeared during my ER rotation, making me feel a bit more confident. Zack and Michael have it dialed!

…..quick, informative, to the point, and never boring! Absolutely LOVE this podcast! It’s a great tool for residents and wonderful resource for medical students looking to reinforce concepts and build on their base knowledge. Please keep making more content. :)

Please keep up the case scenarios and deep dives!

Absolutely love the podcast. Very high yield, direct and to the point, and fun! Thanks Zack and Mike, really appreciate your work.

I have been listening to EM clerkship for a year now (on round 2 holla) and it is such a great resource for all students interested in EM. I recommend this to everyone I know. Zack you are the bomb, thank you so much!!

I love this podcast. Really helped me during my EM rotation. It’s funny cause I did end up meeting Dr. Olson in the ED and I was able to recognize his voice instantly because of how much I listened to this podcast. Highly recommend for med school shelf exams.

Amazing podcast. Highly recommend for any student and resident.

i have used zacks podcasts through the first year of medical school and they have proven incredibly useful for having a clinical correlate to the material we’re learning. not only that but this is the ONLY EM podcast i actually find interesting to listen to. i recommend this to all my friends also interest in EM. please keep making these! appreciate u dr olsen

Is the Christmas episode gone? I listened to it every year during my last year of medical school and into residency. I love the podcast! It saved me during auditions and preparing for residency but the Christmas episode was by far my favorite and was a unique, thought provoking perspective.

This podcast is an absolute game changer! Listening to it on my way into all my clerkships. It is so awesome to find a study podcast that is actually interesting to listen to! Dr. Olson presents things in a clear and concise manner that sticks in your head. His tips to crush your SLOE are worth their weight in gold! Listen to this and crush your EM clerkship. Can’t thank you enough Dr. Olson!

This is such an incredible podcast. I literally love listening to this in the car on the way to work and home. I’ve literally listened to this podcast like three times already just for kicks. Dr. Olson really knows how to simplify things in a way that make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. Love the succinct explanations and mnemonics for memorization. Just listening to this podcast I can tell Dr. Olson is truly passionate about EM and teaching - he is so engaging and interesting to listen to. Thank you so much for sharing all of your wisdom with us! You are the GOAT!

OMG! I’m a Nursing Student who enjoys listening to Podcasts that involves trauma, EM, Clinical Cases, and much more. I love the delivery of this educational podcast. It can not get any more concise than this. LOVE IT!!!!

I’ve listened to a handful of podcasts now while I’m on my 4th year EM rotation and I have found this podcast super helpful. Zach is clear and concise in his description and gives great schemas for approaching common problems students will encounter in the ER!

As an M4 entering the clerkship season, these episodes were the single biggest factor in my success on shift. I typed the notes up into a little cheat sheet, and I still cary that sheet around with me today as a resident. It’s saved my but more than once. Thanks for the hard work Dr Olsen!

The ongoing ABEM oral board mock scenarios have been good listens. Thanks for putting in the work.

I am an acute care NP student and your podcast offers me a vast amount of knowledge and critical thinking especially on my daily run and walks. Thank you Mr Zack for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you.

I’m a second year PA student and I started listening to your podcasts during my long commutes to rotations from your very first episode. I want to work in EM because I spent almost 4 years working as an ER scribe during undergrad and I just loved every bit of it. I find myself listening and re-listening to your podcasts even when I just need a peace of mind — probably weird, but I love the succinct yet informative episodes. One episode you talked about burnouts and how prayer and meditation works including ensuring your purpose — this really shows your purpose. Thank you so much for the wisdom and the want to see others become successful also. Keep being great and prayers for your continued success and influence! — Steph Clay

I don’t usually like writing reviews but you are incredible. You paint a clear picture & make it so much simpler to learn. Great job, keep it up Doc!

Zack’s ability to simplify complex patient presentations and communicate a clear way to work up and manage these patients is incredible. My favorite medical podcast

Acute Care NP student. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 So dope, so helpful. Appreciate these podcasts so much!

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! wow.

I’m a new grad PA about the start my first ever job in the ED. These podcasts are awesome. Thanks so much

I’m a PA student and these lectures have been so helpful during my EM rotation! Thanks for all the time you put into them!

Seriously great stuff. I’m an IM intern and honestly I’m loving it. Really appreciate the time you put into the podcast

This is the best podcast ever! Dr. Olsen makes learning fun and easy to understand.

Highly recommended x 10

I love this podcast so much! You guys actually have personality and have fun with it! Other podcasts are so dry and boring! I love the scenarios with Dr. Estefan you guys are hilarious together and so relatable while still learning so much. Please bring him back for more! I get so sad whenever there’s not a new episode!

Dr. Olsen’s awesome podcast does what few others do. His voice is enjoyable to listen to, his inflections and tones add to the podcast and are not annoying. He presents things in a quick but thorough and very practical manner I can very much appreciate. Keep up the great work Dr Olsen!!

Zack, I know you may be at the point where you don’t need these reviews as much as before, but I’ve been listening long enough that I feel really compelled to leave my comment. I am a current 4th year medical students from University of Rochester. Listening to the episodes from beginning till now gave me a sense of how much effort you have put in the content and even pieces of your life while you were preparing them. To me, not only do these episodes euipped me with the necessary knowledge base for my rotation, but they also prepared me in so many real life ways that my medical school lectures never really got into, which are essential for my performance and learning in the emergency department setting, which is also what I think the most valuable aspect of the show. I can vaguely guestimate the time you spent brainstorming, writing and rehearsing each episode, every 10 min episode probably has hours of your time invested in them. I have listened to some of the more recent episodes, and am aware of the hard decisions you have been making. I just wanna say, as one of the many medical students who benefitted from your teaching since 2016, I am eternally thankful, and fully supportive of whatever decision you need to make. I am sure my fellow students would all agree with me that we want you to have full happiness and joy in both personal life and career, same as what you’ve always wished for us. To us, your wellness is a much higher priority than educating us, and you should prioritize similarly : ). And to be honest, I think you have already done enough for us, I personally believe these episodes can for sure sustantially accelerate a medical student’s maturation into resident, and still be effective for years into residency. Thank you again for the awesome education Zack and best of luck, I will always be grateful.

This podcast is easy to listen to everyday and gives great pearls. Love the new format! It’s fun and I’m learning so much. Thanks for all you do!

Dr. Olsen, THANK YOU for everything that you have done. As I’m listening to your latest episode now, I feel the need to reach out and thank you for helping me shine on m first away rotation. I received HONORS on my first EM rotation and was told my presentations are “accurate, concise and reliable”. Do you know why? I stumbled upon your podcast after talking with a classmate and decided to listen to the “How to crush your SLOE” series and I learned to present my patients in the ER from you. Before, my patient presentations were known to be detailed but wayyyyyy too long! Now, I have a strong grasp of what most attending a want to hear from med students’ presentations and I can deliver. Seeing as this is one of the most important skills in being a Med student, I have to give credit where it’s due for my Honors grade. YOU and your example of good presentations and how to essentially be an awesome ED team player, were instrumental in my success. I’m beyond excited about EM and so grateful for you and your energizing podcast. You’re the man.

I switched into EM LATE from Anesthesia and snagged a SUBI and was panicking about how to prepare. This podcast is freaking golden and has taught me SOOOO MUCH. I’ve listened to every episode and most of them I’ve listened to over 3x. They’re quick yet full of pertinent info like a good presentation should be!! I really feel prepared for my SubI that I’m starting next week! Will let you know how it goes! Thanks so much for these gems. You’re an amazing human being and an even better EM Physician!!! Wooo!!!

I am a second year and I listen to your podcast in my car. It is a great compliment for my lectures.. I love the Alteplase 9min segment. Thank you!!

this podcast has really helped me learn while on my EM Sub I, thank's so much Zack, keep up the hard work, it's really helping me out

I’m a new grad PA in the ER and love listening to these podcasts! Super helpful quick summaries.

As a medical student, this has been my favorite podcast relating to emergency medicine. Solid topics with a good variety that will help prepare you for your time in the ED. Zack does a fantastic job breaking things down into evidence based, easy-to-listen-to podcasts that also touch on things that you’d otherwise only hear from a close mentor. Definitely worth subscribing!

I have been working EM locums for 7 years. I have been listening to medical podcasts for 6-7 years, and I HIGHLY recommend for medical students and also ESPECIALLY for EM residents, PA’s and NP’s, this podcast above all others as this is the BEST source to become familiar with emergency medicine. Zack LOVES EM, and is VERY informative and teaches very high yield info in a short time. Perfect for quick review as you first see a new patient and do NOT know where to begin your work up and/or assessment and plan, to present to your attending. You will shine on your EM rotation and stand out among other EM residents early on if you listen to and follow his quick, but very up to date points. Zack obviously studies A LOT and seriously knows emergency medicine VERY well, and because of this, he makes difficult cases so easy to understand. Plus, his warm and fun personality will KEEP you listening. Just check it out.....you will NOT be disappointed! Also, tell others who are studying emergency medicine, and are trying to learn a lot in a short time about this podcast. They will think YOU are brilliant! Well done Zack.

Hands down - best EM podcast for students that I’ve come across. I am sad that I’m almost finished with the episodes. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED

These podcasts are fantastic. Starting my EM rotation soon and these have been a gold mine. Highly recommend to anyone considering listening!
