How to make a 10-minute clinical update digest for busy doctors
Clinical updates for busy practitioners — 10 minutes of CME-adjacent learning, voiced and ready before your first patient.
Compress the week's guideline changes, journal findings and label updates into a tight 10-minute clinical digest your team can finish between patients.
No clinician has time to read every new guideline, journal abstract and label change — but most can find ten minutes between patients, on the drive in, or over a coffee. A clinical update digest meets practitioners exactly there: a short, credible audio briefing that turns the firehose of medical literature into the two or three things that actually change practice this week.
The Doctor's Digest template is built for that. Point it at the sources you already trust — a society guideline page, a journal RSS feed, an FDA safety update, or notes you paste in yourself — and Pollinator Studio writes a tight, two-host clinical script, voices it in measured professional tones, and renders a finished 10-minute episode. No microphone, no editing suite, and in Newsroom mode it can refresh on a weekly schedule so a new digest is waiting for your team every Monday.
How to make one with Pollinator Studio
- 1
Open the Doctor's Digest template
Start with one click — pick Doctor's Digest from the template gallery. It arrives preset for a ~10-minute clinical brief with two practitioner-style hosts, a restrained music bed, and intro/outro prompts written for a medical audience. Run it as-is, or tailor any part below.
- 2
Add your clinical sources
Paste a guideline URL or journal abstract, drop in your own meeting or grand-rounds notes, or give it a topic like 'new ESC heart-failure guidance.' In Newsroom mode, connect a journal or society RSS/WordPress/JSON feed so new studies arrive automatically.
- 3
Set your two hosts
The default pairing is Charon as the lead clinical presenter and Sadaltager as the evidence reviewer who handles the data. Preview any of the 73 voices and swap them, then set each host's delivery and pace — slightly slower and even-toned reads better for dense clinical content.
- 4
Generate and tighten the script
AI distills the sources into a structured brief: what changed, the strength of evidence, and the practical takeaway. Edit any line, add the trial name, dosage, or contraindication, and trim to the two or three items that genuinely affect practice. Keep numbers and drug names exact.
- 5
Add pronunciation rules and cover art
Add workspace or project pronunciation rules so drug names and acronyms (e.g., 'tirzepatide,' 'NSTEMI,' 'SGLT2') are spoken correctly every time. Generate or upload cover art so the digest looks like a real publication in a podcast app.
- 6
Render, then publish or schedule
Async rendering returns a finished MP3 in a couple of minutes. Download it for an internal LMS or Slack, or distribute once via the built-in RSS feed to Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music. In Newsroom mode, set a weekly schedule and auto-publish — save your tuned setup as a custom template so every edition stays consistent.
Make it your own
The Doctor's Digest template is ready to use as-is — one click and you're generating. But every part is editable: swap any of the 73 AI voices and set each host's delivery and pace, change the background music, edit the AI script and intro/outro prompts, set the length, and add your own or AI-generated cover art. Use Doctor's Digest as-is, or make it yours: swap the two clinical hosts from 73 voices and set each one's delivery and pace, narrow it to one specialty, edit the AI script and intro/outro prompts, change the length, drop in your own cover art, and save it as a custom template you reuse every week.

Tips for a great medical episode
- Lead with the takeaway: open each item with the practice change, then give the evidence behind it. Clinicians decide in seconds whether a study matters to them.
- Cap it at two or three items. A focused 10-minute digest that respects a busy schedule beats a comprehensive 25-minute one that never gets finished.
- Add a one-line evidence-strength cue ('phase 3 RCT, n=4,200' vs 'small retrospective cohort') so listeners can weight findings without reading the paper.
- Load pronunciation rules for drug names, eponyms and acronyms before you generate — getting 'dapagliflozin' or 'Kawasaki' right is what makes it sound credible to specialists.
- State plainly that this is educational and not a substitute for clinical judgment or the primary literature, and cite each source by name so listeners can go deeper.

Start freeFrequently asked questions
Does this count as accredited CME?
No — Doctor's Digest is CME-adjacent educational content, not an accredited activity. It's built to keep clinicians current and can support a self-directed learning log, but formal CME/CPD credit must come through an accredited provider. Always cite the primary sources.
Can I make a digest for a single specialty?
Yes. Narrow your sources to one field — connect a cardiology or oncology journal feed, or paste specialty guidelines — and edit the script prompt to focus on that audience. Save it as a custom template so each specialty edition stays consistent.
How do I make sure drug names are pronounced correctly?
Use workspace or project pronunciation rules to define how drug names, eponyms and acronyms should be spoken. Set them once and every future episode voices them the same way.
Can it update automatically every week?
In Newsroom mode, yes. Connect a journal or society RSS/WordPress/JSON feed, set a daily or weekly schedule, and each digest is fetched, written, rendered and published hands-free — though a human review before publishing is strongly recommended for clinical content.
Do I need recording equipment or a co-host?
No. Both hosts are AI voices, so there's no microphone, no studio and no scheduling a second clinician — you paste in sources, review the script, and render in the browser.
