This was the most helpful adjunct for a nurse practitioner course. Dr. Cizadlo is one of the best professors. His content is thorough and his presentation is thought provoking and enjoyable which can be hard to do. One big downside apparently is Apple and College of St Scholastica didn’t renew the contract for the 2008-2012 lectures, so only 2013 lectures work. I spent several weeks with Apple support before this was revealed to be the issue. If the lectures aren’t available- please remove them.

“Dontcha get it!?” This guy is great- so descriptive while covering different concepts. Has made NP school much easier for me!

This podcast is a lifesaver. I’d give it more stars if I could!

Unfortunately I am unable to tune into the older podcasts from 2008. Thank you for this ! I hope the other podcasts become available soon 😊

I am taking pathophysiology & ran into this. I was skeptical but am so glad to have given it a listen. The information is informative and I like how he applies the concepts to the bedside. I am an ED nurse and am currently in an FNP program.

I’ve downloaded the podcast but can’t access any 2008 lectures and all but one of 2009. What’s up? I am super eager to hear this stuff!!

This was simply the best nursing prep class ever. And I have 2 and 1/2 Bachelors degrees so I have taken more than my share of courses. He is by far my top professor and I only took this one course with him online. Sadly I never met him in person. He has a real passion for teaching and his standards were always realistic. I’m still teaching new nurses his stories. Thank you!! Also grateful for the podcast format!

I have been a family physician for over 25 years and have had wonderful and amazing teachers during my career. Dr Cizadlo ranks as one of the top 5. He has rekindled my love for pathophysiology and desire to relearn what I have forgotten and learn what is new, specially the NEJM and JAMA review articles. I have started incorporating more pathophysiology in my teachings and am telling all my medical students, residents and colleagues about this podcast. I am indebted to him and wish that I could thank him in person. For all those going into the medical field, this is a must podcast.

It seems I can not listen to the tracks anymore. I love listening to these for meditation. His voice is so soothing and he explains things in such a visual way that I can picture exactly what he’s explaining. Plus he’s funny.

Dr. C is hands down the best educator I’ve ever listened to. I go to UCSF and his teaching wildly surpasses any of the professors I’ve had. He makes concepts that can easily be taught in extremely confusing and hard to digest formats into the most straightforward and logical way. I reference this podcast for nearly every disease process I come in contact with. I am so grateful for this podcast and only wish he could teach a master class on education so more could learn his effective teaching style.

I was bobbing and weaving and they couldn’t touch me. Highly recommended.

Just wish I could get the older ones to download as well :)

I never write reviews. This is my first one and WOW. I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am that this series of lectures exists and is available to the public. Yes, it’s a little hard to navigate and pick out the *one* you’re looking for but the material is on point, clear and thorough. I am entering week 2/6 of an online summer pathophys class with only text and written “lectures” and PowerPoint slides. I realized pretty quickly that, while I recognize the lingo and concepts that should be my A & P foundation, I’m a little (ok, a lot) rusty and nothing really replaces a good lecture, amirite?! Listening to these lectures has helped me grasp the new and recall what I do already know SO, SO MUCH. A big thank you to this professor for making these lectures available to students like me! Podcasts and YouTube, man. I don’t know what I’d do without these resources. *Also, only the most recent (2013) series of lectures are playable. This was kind of confusing at first since I thought I was “starting at the beginning” but I guess the professor has recorded the same course’s lectures several times over many semesters. Just skip up to the lectures from 2013.

I listened to this podcast on my commutes to and from nursing school. I rocked pathophysiology based on this alone.

that is a great lecturer i happen to find while searching for other information, even though i went through these topics30 + years ago it is always nice to review in order to base your practice in solid science as opposed to clinical habitual practices . thank you very much ,i wish the embryology podcast was still available.

Really enjoying this podcast - I’m a nursing student, and they’re very helpful! My only suggestion would be a title for each episode. I just discovered it and have to shuffle through them to find one with content that is related to what we’re studying in class now.

As a nursing student, I listened to all of his podcasts before taking path and I rocked the class. He even wrote me back via email when I had a differential diagnosis question. He was, as expected, insightful and blunt. "I like your thinking, but remember, as a student, you're not always playing with a full deck."

THIS PODCAST is amazing, thank you. I'm a sophomore in high school, really didn't understood the whole concept of the biological field to the point that I was taking the lowest biological level class. "just hate it science overall" one night I happened to be reaching for apps that could help me with my homework on proteins synthesis, although my teacher explain it over and over I just didn't get it. Science is a must have subject in order to graduate, so I was screw. Anyway found this podcast bc it seemed interesting, gave it a try on proteins lecture. I fully got the concept. Did my homework in no time, though wow what a extraordinary lecture and the guy talking it quite funny. Easy to picture. On and all, I'm still listening to this amazing podcast, its weird I found myself expending more time listening to this then on my ps3. On an update, I kept on listening to the lecture, within a week I got transfer to a honest biology, a week after everything clicked, I pretty bc i retain info so easily, not just trivia, but found logic behind all. My biology teacher recommend me for AP anatomy and all cell biology related subject. Thank you, you have change my view and understanding on this topic, made a 360 change in my academic knowledge. I really learning a lot and eager to learn more. Outstanding podcast :)

I am a paramedic and I drive over an hour one way to work right now, and because of this podcast I actually look forward to the drive so I can listen without interruption!! Doctor C is truely a great teacher and not only explains patho so you understand it... he makes it enjoyable. I will be a long time listener!! Thanks Doctor C!!

It's hard to imagine that I could describe these lectures as anything other than well-explained, well-said, intricately expanded and thoughtfully presented by a true expert, but I also find myself loving Dr. C's honesty* and earnestness in presenting these often difficult topics. He knows how students are and tries to get them to ask questions at the exact places they need to be asking questions. His funny** digressions and stories are also great. It's amazing. I have been a pharmacist for 14 years and never before Dr. C's lectures did I _really_ understand body fluid mechanics or renal physiology. He often says, "If you don't learn this now, you'll find yourself just reciting jargon and not having any idea what it really means. And I can attest to its being true. I thought I understood. Now I am actually understanding. Among police officers, I hear they refer to some of themselves as "real police", the people who investigate and nose around and solve cases. Well, Dr. Cizadlo is one of the REAL TEACHERS.

His class is wonderful, very interesting. I am a nursing student and he makes everything so easy to understand. I listen at home, in my car, and when I go to sleep! Please keep it up!!! I am absolutely addicted now to the podcasts!

I cannot say enough about Doc C's podcast lectures. I am neck deep in nursing textbooks that I have been grappling with reading and synthesizing . . . For which keeping awake and focused to digest has been an effort! Listening to Doc C has really been motivating and interesting. He presents complicated concepts with simple explanations and diagrams . . . Not 175 power point slides that essentially say nothing - rather 5-7 slides that intelligently synthesize the most pertinent and memorable information. Then he gathers it all together and helps you to imagine it for real in your mind and think about the practical applications of it. Brilliant! Thank you so much Doc C for making these incredibly valuable lectures available to the public for free!!!!

Excellent!!! I am in no way involved with the medical profession, but I find this podcast entertaining and fascinating. I hope it continues next semester!

Best educational postcast I've ever listened too. I was interested in learning about physiology, and found this. It was fascinating and fun! He's an entertaining lecturer and describes physiology so that we can picture what's going on.

Wow this podcast is great!!! I am so thank full it is also free. Often when I read my text it is hard to understand all of the points. Dr Cizadlo is wounderful! It is nice to be able to listen to the talking points of each unit!
