What is the best curriculum timing for an educational podcast aiming to improve medical students' attitudes towards physician-pharmacist collaboration: a pre-post study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSafe and effective pharmacotherapeutic care requires collaboration between physicians and pharmacists. Such interprofessional collaboration demands mutual understanding of roles and responsibilities. Since interprofessional education can be logistically complex to implement, educational podcasts can provide a flexible and low cost alternative to facilitate unilateral education focusing on collaboration. To improve medical students' understanding of the role and responsibilities of pharmacists, we created an educational podcast episode about community pharmacists. In this study, we explored the best timing in the curriculum to improve medical students' attitudes toward physician-pharmacist collaboration using an educational podcast.
methodsWe recorded a 48 minute audio-podcast episode in an interview format about the roles and responsibilities of community pharmacists. A prospective study using a pre-post design was conducted to evaluate the learning outcomes of the podcast in second year bachelor and final year master medical students. The effect on attitude towards physician-pharmacist collaboration was evaluated using the Scale of Attitudes towards Physician-Pharmacist Collaboration (SATP
resultsRespectively 161 bachelor and 105 master students agreed to take part in the study and completed the first questionnaire. Thirty-six participants in the bachelor group, and 32 participants in the master group filled out both questionnaires. Bachelor students showed a greater increase in attitude towards physician-pharmacist collaboration after listening to the podcast episode, with their mean SATP
conclusionsEducational podcasts can improve medical students' attitude towards physician-pharmacist collaboration, particularly when introduced early in the curriculum. Podcasts offer a flexible and scalable format to enhance role understanding and promote interprofessional awareness among students.
