Title: Dispelling Neurophobia through Podcasting

Description: Neurophobia or “the fear of clinical neurology” is a well-studied phenomenon experienced by early medical trainees due to the complexity of neuroanatomy and lack of clinical exposure. To overcome the worsening shortage of neurologists, it is imperative to harness the early trainee interest and find ways to dispel neurophobia. The Neurophilia Podcast was created to help bridge the gap between practitioner and learner. Since launching, the Neurophilia Podcast has seen exponential growth in podcast listeners and social media engagement. We performed an extensive review of our podcast software (Buzzsprout) and the primary social media platform (Twitter) to determine our audience size, demographics, and level of engagement. Throughout the presentation, the successes and learning points of creating an educational podcast, and spend time discussing podcast-based learning as a whole will be shared.
