Summary
Concise Medical Information Cines (CoMICs), peer-reviewed videos co-created by students and clinicians, enhance guideline accessibility and comprehension. This collaborative model fosters interdisciplinary learning and promotes engagement with evidence-based medicine.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Clinical Guideline Dissemination
- Audiovisual Learning
Background:
- Clinical guidelines require modernization for better healthcare professional engagement.
- Concise Medical Information Cines (CoMICs) are peer-reviewed videos distilling complex guidelines into learner-friendly visuals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the co-design process of an audiovisual clinical guideline.
- To explore experiences with co-designing guideline summaries using the CoMICs model.
Main Methods:
- A 4-part CoMICs series on glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency was codeveloped iteratively by clinicians and medical students.
- Patient versions were created in multiple languages.
- Semistructured interviews and reflexive thematic analysis assessed CoMICs' clarity, usability, trustworthiness, and educational value.
Main Results:
- CoMICs enhanced guideline accessibility, comprehension, and global adaptability.
- The collaborative process fostered interdisciplinary learning and highlighted the effectiveness of audiovisual tools.
- Student collaborators reported increased confidence, interest in endocrinology, and appreciation for academic dimensions.
Conclusions:
- Co-creating audiovisual resources like CoMICs improves guideline dissemination.
- Student involvement can spark curiosity, encourage academic careers, and reshape engagement with evidence-based medicine.

01:23Inhaled Medications
786
Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...
