VA Hopeful Dr 01-11-2005, 02:22 PM Dr. Doan, Is this a purely hypothetical idea, or is this something that you're actually considering doing? Andrew_Doan 01-11-2005, 06:25 PM just wondering. mdkurt 01-11-2005, 07:14 PM What do videos usually go for at the Academy meetings? If it's a good, thorough presentation (not just one new way to do a procedure), I'd probably pay something equivalent to a cheaper textbook ($75-$125).

Videos are so valuable because it's difficult to learn surgery from a textbook or journal. modemduck 01-12-2005, 09:22 PM I agree MDKURT. Videos are so valuable because it's difficult to learn surgery from a textbook or journal. It seems like most people feel that the price should be around 50 dollars; that seems pretty reasonable. However, the amount and quality of instruction provided and the expertise of some famous surgeons could quickly drive the price up to 80 or 90 dollars. but that is just my opinion. good luck if you decide to do it. - roy Andrew_Doan 01-15-2005, 03:03 AM What types of videos do residents, new grads, and practicing ophthalmologists find most useful?

Are any available to purchase, or are they something you can only get at academy meetings? Andrew_Doan 01-16-2005, 04:16 PM What sorts of videos are available now? Are any available to purchase, or are they something you can only get at academy meetings? The Academy sells slit lamp basics and technician training videos for $75-200 (some are only 15 minutes long). There are a few surgical videos, but many of them are taped Powerpoint presentations for ~$180. Some publishers offer surgical instruction on DVD with a book, but these are well over $300. mdkurt 01-16-2005, 06:51 PM What sorts of videos are available now? Are any available to purchase, or are they something you can only get at academy meetings? Usually at the ASCRS film festivals, the winners are available for purchase. I'm not sure how much these cost, and I'm pretty sure they're available only at the meetings. An alternative is the Video Journal of Ophthalmology, which routinely covers surgical topics. !dr_nick! 01-16-2005, 06:57 PM Remember, DVDs are a lot easier to pirate than textbooks.
