Finding freely available medical clinical pictures, videos, imaging pictures, etc. to use in the book formats is not easy. Actually, we recommend you to search on the internet and see the results. Although the internet is full of medical media, their quality, relevance, and permissions are not fully fit to use them in our chapters. Our authors tried their best to give original media and find the best freely available media options. However, there are a lot of media needed to provide a good resource for our trainees and educators in a complete package. Therefore, your contribution will be appreciated. We will use the image/video with your name (see example)
We ask 6 Medical Image/Video Contribution (it can be more if you wish) from each contributor in a year. Each Medical Image/Video should include 100 – 150 words explanations. We publish posts Monday, Wednesday, Friday. We expect to receive the text and pictures/videos separately, 3 days earlier the publication time for the blog posts. These images/videos are also subject to use in future editions of the book.
We like to give freedom of the topic selection to contributors. However any topic that you think medical students/interns and maybe PGY1s can get benefit from it, will be fine. Our expectations from video/images includes
- Clinical images of rare diseases or good images of very common emergencies
- Images of diagnostic modalities such as x-rays, ultrasound, CT, MRI etc.
- Images or videos unique to country or region of the contributor are also welcome
- Clinical examination, procedure, expert opinion videos relevant to medical student/intern/PGY1 level will be fine.
- short video format (2-3 min).
- The images and videos can also include HIDDEN CURRICULUM hints too.
- If it is possible, 2-3 minutes of videos will be great. However, if the topics need longer time, we would like to share it in parts of 2-5 minutes each.
Images and Videos should be raw without any additional editing on them. However, please provide additional information about the image and video, if there is a need some editing on them by us. We will be adding a standard format to every image and video to secure courtesy information of contributors and also brand of iEM Education Project.
Medical Image/Video Contribution will be published in blog page and then stored in the iEM FLICKR and iEM YOUTUBE accounts with your name, and are subject to use in future editions of the book.
