The Millennial Generation & "The Lecture" from Academic Emergency Medicine on Vimeo.

The first Academic Emergency Medicine video lecture has published. The videos in our new Peer-reviewed Lecture Series (PeRLs) are intended to represent the state-of-the-art in emergency medicine education. Residents, practicing physicians, and medical students may use them for didactic education.

About The Millennial Generation & "The Lecture
In this 30-minute talk, we will briefly discuss the characteristics of the Millennial Generation and explore in depth how these characteristics relate to their ability, or inability, to learn productively in a traditional lecture-style format. The goal of this talk is to expand or refine the armamentarium of tools to use when designing your large-group educational sessions, to maximize the learning and retention of information for your students.

This lecture can be viewed in its entirety online when you click the video above or click here.
