Help needed: Research Survey

Dear listeners,

Here at PsychEd, we aim to provide you with a podcast of high-quality psychiatric content through a critical lens in a format that is informative, evidence-based, entertaining, easily digestible, clinically-oriented, and socially responsible. So… how are we doing? We want to hear from you about your experience of listening to PsychED. We request that you complete a short 5-minute research survey to help us understand how medical learners use podcasts, the role audio podcasts can play in medical education, and ultimately help us improve PsychEd to maximize your learning experience! To make it even better, you will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a $230 gift card of your choice/pre-paid visa! You will also have a chance to participate in a follow-up brief phone interview to give us more detailed feedback and if you do you’ll also be entered into the draw for two additional chances to win a $230 gift card of your choice/pre-paid visa.

Thank you all for helping improve medical education!

See you in Denver/Ottawa!
