Background:
There is a need to modernize the dissemination of clinical guidelines, making them more accessible and engaging for health care professionals. Concise Medical Information Cines (CoMICs) are peer-reviewed videos created by medical students that distill complex guidelines into learner-friendly visuals.
Objective:
This study aimed to describe the process of co-designing an audiovisual version of a clinical guideline and explore the experiences of co-designing audiovisual guideline summaries using the CoMICs model.
Methods:
A 4-part CoMICs series on glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency was codeveloped by clinicians and medical students through 10 iterative steps. A patient version of these CoMICs was then created in multiple languages. Semistructured interviews with authors, reviewers, and student collaborators assessed the clarity, usability, trustworthiness, and educational value of these CoMICs. Reflexive thematic analysis then identified key themes.
Results:
CoMICs improved guideline accessibility, comprehension, and global adaptability, while the collaborative process promoted interdisciplinary learning and underscored the efficacy of audiovisual tools for complex content. Student collaborators reported greater confidence in interpreting and communicating clinical guidance, renewed interest in endocrinology, and a deeper appreciation of its academic dimensions.
Conclusions:
Cocreating audiovisual resources, such as CoMICs, enhances guideline dissemination. Student involvement can foster curiosity, encourage academic career pathways, and reshape engagement with evidence-based medicine.
