Last week I posted an inquiry to see if there was interest in developing a directory of video material for O&P procedures. I had hoped for more replies so I am reposting this summary. The idea is to have a free, vetted directory for video material that has been evaluated by certified peers acting as volunteers.It would be publicly available on-line without charge. Proprietary information would not be included. This could be done simply at our practices as finances and time permit.Materials already on-line could be indexed and vetted as well. Possibly assistance could be gotten from the volunteers involved.We would then have a great resource for those working in developing countries for teaching and for the rest of us for review and reference. These are just preliminary ideas.
One of the most interesting replies was from Al Pike CP(E) who many of us know well which I am posting with his permission:
Great idea and back in the 1970-80s’ I set-up a videoproduction studio at Otto Bock. We produced a number of videos on casting andfabrication procedures. The industry has somehow gotten away from this type of educationvideo and focused more on advertising and selling video. With today’s DSLRcameras and software it is so much easier to produce and distribute video. Wishingyou all the best and success with this idea and I hope it works to the benefitof the profession and those served.
If you would be interested in pursuing this possibility please contact me at my email address: <Email Address Redacted>
