Why Podcast Guesting is a Powerful Strategy for Medical Professionals
Educate and Build Trust
As a medical doctor or clinical PhD, podcast appearances offer a unique platform to educate the public and build trust.
- Today, practicing physicians report using podcasts as one of multiple sources of potentially practice-changing information (source JMIR Medical Education).
A new generation of patients and practitioners is growing up in a media landscape where experts are expected to have a voice and a media profile, and trust those who have embraced this change. Share valuable information, discuss recent advancements, and address common health concerns. This medium allows you to reach a wider audience of patients, peers, and industry partners, establishing yourself as a trusted voice in your field.
Expand Your Professional Network
Social media plays an increasingly important role in the professional lives of physicians. According to the Journal of General Internal Medicine, 88% of medical residents listened to a medical education podcast at least once per month. Furthermore, 60% of physicians used wider social media to follow and stay up to date with their peers.
Podcast guesting provides opportunities to nework with experts across various medical specialties.
- Speaking as a guest on related podcasts can lead to valuable professional collaborations for doctors (source Intrepy Healthcare Marketing).
Engage in meaningful conversations with hosts and fellow guests, potentially leading to new collaborations, research opportunities, or mentorship connections. Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in your field through these interactions.
Enhance Your Communication Skills and Professional Development
Use Podcast Guesting as a way to stay relevant and improve the tangible “soft skills” of your profession.
- Podcasts are increasingly being recognized as an effective platform to facilitate the continuous professional development (CPD) of health care professionals - Journal of Medical Internet Research.
- 61% of medical students, 45% of residents, 17% of fellows, and 38% of attending physicians use podcasts for learning - Podcasting in Medical Education
Regular podcast appearances can also help refine your ability to explain complex medical concepts in accessible terms. This improved communication can translate to better patient interactions, more effective public health messaging, and increased success in securing research funding or presenting at conferences.
Boost Your Professional Profile and Influence
In an increasingly networked healthcare landscape, podcasts offer doctors a means to stay connected with conversations that matter globally.
- Because podcasts can unlock global audiences, Doctors can reach audiences beyond their traditional sphere of influence (source Phamax Digital), for example outside their local patient base (source Practice Builders).
Podcast guesting can pave the way for new chapters in your professional journey. Increased visibility may lead to speaking engagements, book deals, or consulting opportunities. It's an excellent way to showcase your expertise and potentially attract new patients or research participants to your practice or studies.
Humanize Your Profession
Podcasts allow patients to experience the opinions and ideas of physicians in an authentic and human way:
- Integrating podcasts into healthcare communication is an effective strategy for delivering quality health-related information to the public and creating opportunities for engagement (source Journal of Medical Internet Research)
- Podcasts allow for longer-form content (see example podcast guesting videos) that can dive deeper into health topics and provide background information on the human aspect of the profession (source The Medical Strategist)
Patients gravitate towards podcasts as a source of both credibility and deep dives into subjects they have a personal interest in.
- For example, patients who listened to podcasts generally experienced them as a means of building trust and reducing anxiety before hospital visits (source The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health).
Use podcast appearances to show the human side of medicine. Share personal anecdotes, discuss the challenges and rewards of your work, and offer insights into the day-to-day life of a medical professional. This approach can help demystify the medical field and foster greater understanding and trust between healthcare providers and the public.
Flexible and Time-Efficient
And lastly, it’s all about efficient use of your time. You are busy. You don’t have time to travel to media studios, conferences or out of town meetings. That’s why podcasts are a fantastic tool to reach audiences within the constraints of your diary. Unlike traditional media appearances, podcast guesting often allows for flexible scheduling.
Many podcasts can be recorded remotely, making it easier to participate without disrupting your busy clinical or research schedule. This efficiency allows you to maximize your impact while minimizing time away from your primary responsibilities.
Add to this the timely content you can generate from a single podcast appearance. Each podcast appearance generates new digital content featuring a doctor's expertise (source The Medical Strategist). Podcast appearances yield videos, transcripts and social shareables that are easy to distribute or publish on your own website and social media without much technical knowledge or time required.
