In the Journal of Graduate Medical Education article, To Play or Not To Play: Leveraging Video in Medical Education, written by Larry Hurtubise, MA, Bryan Martin, DO, Anne Gilliland, MSLIS, JD, and John Mahan, MD, the authors discuss how “Video is a powerful teaching and learning tool because it is one of the few mediums that has been used effectively in many facets of medical education face-to-face teaching and at a distance.”
The article goes on to mention how “visual images offer several advantages over verbal communication.” Such as how “video can present more information in a given amount of space and time, simplify complex concepts and be more efficient and effective at getting audience attention.”
