title: Making videos for medical undergraduate teaching in child psychiatry: the development, use and perceived effectiveness of structured videotapes of clinical material for use by medical students in child psychiatry.
abstract: The rationale for using videotapes in medical student teaching is presented with some examples of their use. The process of producing videotapes for use in the undergraduate child psychiatry course at the University of Leicester Medical School is then described, based on eight videos made so far. This includes planning, patient recruitment, and the technical issues associated with video production. The use of the videotapes is then contextualized. Feedback from medical students on the usefulness and quality of the videos is presented. There is finally a brief discussion of some of the issues that arise for both patients and clinicians when videos are made and used for medical student teaching.
