During this year’s WONCA Europe in Warsaw, we had the pleasure to make a short presentation about podcasting and its benefits with regard to medical education. We had also the opportunity to talk about UGP 2.0 and receive feedback from the audience (which is always welcomed and much, much appreciated!).

Here you can see the slides from the presentation…

Hi everyone,

Harris and I are happy to announce that UGP 2.0 is back for Season Two.

Needless to say, we wanted Episode 1 of UGP second season to be quite special. We then decided this very unique podcast had to be a tribute to a exceptional Man and Physician: Dr. Claudio Carosino.

Dr. Claudio Carosino died on Sunday, 24 October 2010, at the age of 59. He was tragically shot and killed by a patient, while conducting an off-duty house call in the rural village of Bussetto in Italy.

Besides being a member of the national scientific society of General Practice (SIMG), he maintained a special interest in the particular problems and characteristics of rural medicine and was the Italian representative of the European Rural and Isolated Practitioner Association (EURIPA). He was also the research coordinator of EURIPA, a member of the European General Practice Research Network (EGPRN), as well as a keen teacher of the vocational course. Furthermore, he was among the first Italian doctors who welcomed trainees and junior GPs of other European countries to their practices, participating in the Hippokrates exchange program of the Vasco da Gama Movement.
