You'll hear clinicians, researchers and advocates discuss all aspects of professionalism and quality improvement in healthcare. This includes clinical ethics, diagnostic bias, better communication and more equitable systems. For a sampler of these diverse themes of professional practice take a listen to Episode 132 and Episode 125 . If RACP is your CPD home, you can log time spent listening to each episode with the \"Add activity to MyCPD\" button. And if you're a Basic Physician Trainee, the [Case Report] series might help you prepare for your long case clinical exams. This is also the home of [IMJ On-Air] , featuring authors from the Internal Medicine Journal sharing their latest research. Meanwhile, the [Journal Club] episodes give RACP members a place to talk through their research published in other academic journals.
