Harnessing the power of patient videos to enhance social and behavioral sciences education
Abstract
It has become increasingly important to address the challenge of incorporating social and behavioral sciences (SBS) into medical curricula. This commentary describes how the use of patient videos can be used to overcome barriers in teaching of SBS in non-clinical settings, and enhance recall and foster humanism in medical students. Recommendations are also provided in both creating and identifying optimal patient videos to incorporate into classrooms.
