As most students know, there are many paths to learning. The modern classroom contains not only a teacher, but also many other educational aids to assist in the discovery process. In recent years, video has become a major component of various curricula, particularly in fields like medicine that require exposure to various physical and disease processes that are difficult to recreate in the
. classroom.Medical students watch videos in many of their classes. The video learning process allows students to view patients with interesting or unusual physical characteristics in a way that does not disturb the privacy of the patient. Also, this method gives every student a full and fair view of the patient and procedure without crowding. The video may be rewound and watched over and over again as the student explores.Gynecology is the branch of medicine that deals with the female reproductive system. The nature of gynecological examinations is very intimate, and a video of such an exam is valuable to students, particularly those early in their studies, who may have not developed the proper bedside manner to deal comfortably with patients. The video features an experienced gynecologist conducting a standard examination on a patient, examining and exploring the vagina, cervix, ovaries and pelvic area.This type of video is mostly suitable for introductory classes in gynecology, in order to give new students a general idea and overview of the procedure. In the later stages of training, the student actually conducts such an examination in person, chaperoned and led by the instructor. Since the student has already seen the procedure on video, they are familiar with the general course of the examination and can concentrate on the tactile and other sensations that complete the experience and aid in making the student competent and comfortable with the procedure.More reference links: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3683431334751191546# www.medicalvideos.us/play.php?vid=1265
