Abstract
There is a big amount of medical educational material developed everyday in a university clinic. There are many good presentations and keynotes, grand rounds, case presentations, instructional lectures, …given by many specialists in the hospital, in the university, and in national and international meetings. The amount of time and effort involved in the preparation of those lectures is huge compared with the amount of people that can benefit from them in a normal setting (only one time presentation for a limited amount of people).
With this idea in mind, we started to record (with computer screen-recorder programs) some of the lectures given in our orthopedic department at the time the lecture was given or later. In many cases, videos are much better tools for education than traditional textbooks because many people are visual learners. We have done these videos available to our residents (via the intranet of the hospital) so they can also access that knowledge and lectures independently whether they could be or not when the lecture was given.
The main feedback received from the residents was that now they have the opportunity to be more updated about the knowledge of their consultants in the department so the speed of learning has increased.
The main feedback from the presenters is that they feel that now they are “forced†to give even better lectures because it is not going to be a one time shoot presentation anymore but a repeatable and accessible educational content available also in the future.
The next step in the project is producing small Apps to access the presentations (depending on the specialty) (under development) and also to have closed apps with the presentations in collections for every year.
