The Resurgence of Video in Medical Education

Drs. Warren Wiechmann and Julie Youm of the iMedEd Initiative presented on the “The Resurgence of Video in Medical Education – from GoPro, to Google Glass, to the next Big Thing!” to a standing room only audience at the 2015 AAMC Medical Education meeting (November 10-12, 2015) in Baltimore, MD. The presentation covered the use of video in medical education and its expanding role due to relatively low-cost disruptive devices, such as GoPro and Google Glass, that are being used in innovative ways by both physicians and students. Accordingly, it is important that educators have a more thorough understanding of how these devices work, the supporting environment needed to allow these devices to be successful, and potential barriers and subsequent strategies to their implementation.
