Medical Video Podcasts

I am currently in the process of updating my list of medical podcasts and I ran accross this new release about the Arizona Heart Institute and Arizona Heart Hospital offering video podcasts for the public on healthy heart living.
At http://www.cvmd.org/ they offer podcast for both the health care professional and the public. Individuals can get unrestricted access to information and research relating to cardiovascular health, heart disease, prevention and treatment.
According to the press release, the "Arizona Heart becomes the first medical institute to utilize the new videopod casting capabilities to better educate and inform physicians, healthcare professionals and patients worldwide about the latest-breaking medical advancements, events, educational segments, documentaries, interviews, lectures and LIVE cases happening daily."

So far it looks like the only video podcasts available on their site are currently targeted to the general public, but I would guess that they will soon include video podcasts to their professional sections. Dr. Grayson Wheatley, cardiovascular surgeonand creator of Arizona Heart's cvmd.org website said, "The video iPod is the TiVo of the internet. It's news and educationon-the-go and on-demand. People can download ontheir iPod a program on how to recognize their risk factors for heartdisease and how to modify those risk factors to better their health."

What a great statement....the TiVo of the Internet.

Is your list of excisting podcasts freely available for other medical librarians? Podcasts in the Netherlands are just developing in the Netherlands and it would be great to have a good starting point!
