The PMRExam Podcast

David Rosenblum, MD has been running this podcast since before most PM&R residents knew podcasts could count as study material. With 99 episodes and counting, he covers board-relevant topics with the kind of specificity that actually helps during exam prep -- think SI joint dysfunction broken down by mechanism, phantom limb pain management protocols, and meralgia paresthetica presentations that mirror real board questions. The show goes beyond strict board review, though. Recent episodes tackle regenerative pain medicine, red light therapy evidence, and peptide treatments like BPC-157, reflecting how the field is shifting. Rosenblum brings his clinical experience directing pain management at AABP Pain Management in New York, so the discussions stay grounded in what physiatrists encounter in practice rather than just what shows up on standardized tests. Episodes run at a manageable length, making them practical for commute listening or squeezing in during a lunch break between clinic patients. The tone is educational without being dry -- Rosenblum explains concepts like he is talking to a colleague rather than reading from a textbook. He also ties episodes back to CME opportunities through PMRExam.com, which adds a practical incentive for practicing physicians who need to maintain their credentials. For PM&R residents approaching boards or attending physicians looking to stay current on musculoskeletal and pain topics, this podcast fills a specific gap that textbooks and journal articles leave open. The content straddles physiatry and pain medicine, which mirrors how many physiatrists actually practice.
