Integrating Clinical Videos Into Medical Education: Enhancing Clinical Skills Training For Medical Students
Abstract
The use of video-based instruction in medical education is growing rapidly, especially for teaching clinical skills to first-year medical students. Videos offer visual and auditory engagement, flexibility, and standardization, making them a potentially powerful tool for improving procedural skill acquisition. This study evaluates the effectiveness of video demonstrations in teaching the clinical skill of blood pressure (BP) recording compared to traditional PowerPoint-based instruction among first-year undergraduate medical students. A structured video demonstration of BP recording was shown to the intervention group, while the control group received traditional instruction. A pre-test and post-test assessed theoretical knowledge on the same day, and an Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) was conducted after one week to evaluate skill performance.
