David Morton PhD, The Noted Anatomist, Episode 3

Rotations

The final part of our great visit with Dr. David Morton. In this episode we discuss the nature of editing and working with social media for education. We talk about Google and YouTube as vehicles for information exchange. Then the wonk factor about education talk. Does the future of medical education come down to just 5 or 6 really excellent content producers that are paid a license fee by the schools? Well before you get worried, David doesn’t quite see the future looking like this. Our segment on MOOCs really got me rethinking about the actual value of the anatomy lab. It is well known that I hated anatomy but the introduction of ultrasound made it palatable for me and understandable. This is why we need faculty and this is why we need faculty in person and on site, but the nature of the faculty needed will change and it favors those who can correlate their instruction with clinical application. I would also mention that David gets a little Zen about the whole experience of anatomy but his points are extremely well taken. He changed my mind as to why I should actually be thankful for all those formalin fumes. We discuss the myriad of buzzwords and new shiny objects that educators come back from conferences with and how they are meant to solve all problems and generally miss the fundamental point of education. This segment at around 18:00 minutes is probably the best of the segment for anyone aspiring to be a great educator. Frankly the entire podcast is a good place for an aspiring medical educator in the age of COVID-19 to start thinking about what medical education looks like, should look like and will look like… The Noted Anatomist https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe9lb3da4XAnN7v3ciTyquQ David’s Academic Page at the “U” https://medicine.utah.edu/faculty/mddetail.php?facultyID=u0166427 Dr. Morton uses Apple Keynote for his video products and a USB microphone of high quality for his work.
