Pre-recorded video content in medical education has become more common. Increasingly accessible technology coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent need for distanced learning has greatly increased the interest and need for high-quality video content. The use of short educational videos to augment other teaching methods has been shown to improve learners' experiences, knowledge retention and understanding of content. Multiple studies have demonstrated that video education can be a highly effective tool for learning, particularly for hard to visualize processes and for procedural education. Videos allow learners to view content at their own pace and revisit materials on demand. Additionally, well-designed videos can be repurposed by educators, ultimately reducing time needed to create high-quality educational content. Currently available technology allows educators to create high quality videos at minimal cost and with a modest investment of time. This article details practical tips for creating high-yield educational videos.
