ABSTRACT
Wearable video cameras can replicate physicians' perspectives, and increasing research has shown their utility in medical education. To assess the utility of wearable cameras in medical examinations, we developed an examination question on abdominal physical examination and a corresponding answer explanation using physician-view videos recorded with a head-mounted camera (Insta360 ONE R®). Forty-two resident physicians from multiple Japanese institutions participated in this pilot examination. To assess the utility of wearable cameras based on the examinees’ perception, we conducted a questionnaire survey after the examination. The survey results indicated that the inclusion of physician-view videos in medical examinations enabled participants to envision more real patients, was suitable for evaluating clinical competency, and provided effective education. Wearable video cameras can be a potent tool to improve the evaluation and educational capabilities of medical examinations.
