Abstract:
This Public Health Service film introduces a major problem in medicine--a plethora of knowledge and no way to easily record and disseminate it to other doctors. Medical students and physicians discuss the difficulties of staying current given the volume of information at hand, even just within their own fields. They must read and research constantly, a time-consuming practice. Important medical advances are made daily, with no regular and efficient way to learn about them. The film then suggests a solution in the form of audiovisuals. The narrator explains that through the use of images, audio recordings, and films, doctors can teach large groups of students rather than just those that can physically fit into a classroom. Pictures and diagrams can explain complex ideas quickly and effectively.
