"The Latest Word on Medicine" Radio Program & Podcast

Join us on NEWS/TALK 1130 WISN and our podcast channels for "The Latest Word on Medicine” program supported by Selig Leasing Co., and produced by the Department of Surgery. This multidisciplinary, weekly radio show will highlight innovation and discovery across Ϲ – how knowledge changes life!

In 2017, the Department of Surgery initiated a weekly multidisciplinary radio program entitled “The Latest Word on Medicine,” hosted by Dr. Douglas Evans and Dr. Rana Higgins. "The Latest Word on Medicine" is heard every Friday at 2 p.m. on WISN, 1130AM on the dial.

Latest Word On Medicine Identity ArtWe are so fortunate to have an amazing group of experts from the Ϲ, across all clinical and basic science departments – and with the invaluable help of our NPs and PAs as well as nurses, techs and staff at all levels.

The “Word on Medicine” spanned 2017 to 2025 and with the help of our friends – faculty, residents, Nurse Practitioners, PAs, countless other members of the health care team and most importantly, our patients – we created over 200 unique hour-long programs bringing the inspiration of academic medicine to the airways. At the end of many of the programs, Dr. Evans provided thought, reflection, and opinion on various aspects of medicine and life, sprinkled with personal experience. These short conclusions to Word on Medicine programs have been affectionately referred to as “In the Final Couple Minutes.” Dr. Evans has put together 15 of the most memorable recordings which you can listen to without interruption – this aired as the final “Word on Medicine” Program on Saturday, Nov 1, 2025.

A special thank you to Dr. Rana Higgins, Linda Klagstad, Dave Michaels, and the Selig’s and Attanasio’s who made "The Word on Medicine" possible with their generous support. You can continue to listen to previously aired episodes of “The Word on Medicine” by visiting , , , or .
