'5 Minute Medicine' (5MM) is a series of video podcasts, that in approximately 5 min, each explain a core objective of the internal medicine clerkship that all clinical clerks should understand. Video podcasts are accessible at www.5minutemedicine.com
The aim of this study was to investigate how well received 5MM video podcasts are as an educational tool for clinical clerks to use while on call.
Clinical clerks rotating through their internal medicine clerkship rotation were asked to use the 5MM video podcasts or conventional resources to prepare themselves prior to seeing patients. Questionnaires were distributed to students to determine effectiveness, appropriateness and time-efficiency of the resources students used.
Students almost unanimously strongly agreed or agreed that the 5MM video podcasts were effective learning tools, appropriate for clinical clerks and time-efficient, more so than conventionally used resources. The vast majority of clerks selected the 5MM videos as their preferred resource of all resources available to them. Most clerks felt the 5MM videos were better than textbooks and conventional online resources.
Video podcasts such as the 5MM videos are welcomed as educational tools and may have a role in the future of undergraduate medical education.
“5 分钟医学”（5MM）是一系列视频播客，每集时长约 5 分钟，旨在解释内科实习医生应掌握的核心目标。视频播客可在 www.5minutemedicine.com 上获取。
本研究旨在调查 5MM 视频播客作为临床实习医生在值班时使用的教育工具的受欢迎程度。
要求轮转内科实习的临床实习医生使用 5MM 视频播客或传统资源进行预习。向学生分发问卷，以确定学生使用的资源的有效性、适当性和时间效率。
学生几乎一致强烈同意或同意 5MM 视频播客是有效的学习工具，适合临床实习医生，并且比传统使用的资源更有效率。绝大多数实习医生选择 5MM 视频作为他们所有可用资源中首选的资源。大多数实习医生认为 5MM 视频比教科书和传统在线资源更好。
像 5MM 视频这样的视频播客作为教育工具受到欢迎，并且可能在未来的本科医学教育中发挥作用。
