title: The medical film 1897-1997: Part II. The second half-century.
abstract: Following the reluctance of teachers to use film for undergraduate and postgraduate medical education up until the Second World War, the active promotion of medical films after the war was encouraged by the production of catalogues of films available and the publication of medical film reviews both in journals and in books. This resulted in an increased use of films in the three decades following the war until videorecordings began to take their place and film projection is now a rarity in centres of medical education.
