Annals On Call Podcast

Annals On Call takes articles from Annals of Internal Medicine and turns them into something you can actually use on a Monday morning clinic. Host Dr. Bob Centor, an internist and well-known clinical educator, sits down with the authors of recent papers and walks through the study with them. He asks the questions a working physician would ask. How big was the effect, really? Does this change what I should do with my next patient? What are the limits? Episodes tend to be short, usually around 15 to 25 minutes, which makes them perfect for a commute or a lunch break between cases. The show covers big ground across internal medicine: hypertension targets, anticoagulation choices, screening guidelines, sepsis management, and plenty of clinical controversies where the evidence is still messy. Dr. Centor has a dry, friendly manner and is not shy about pushing back when a conclusion seems thin. That skepticism is part of what makes the show valuable. You are not just getting a summary of the paper. You are hearing two experienced clinicians argue about whether it should actually change practice. For general internists, hospitalists, and residents preparing for boards, it is a reliable way to stay current without reading every issue cover to cover.
