Abstract：
Information technology helps meet today\'s medical students\' needs by providing multiple curriculum delivery methods. Video streaming is an e-learning technology that uses the Internet to deliver curriculum while giving the student control of the content\'s delivery. There have been few studies conducted on the effectiveness of streaming video in medical schools. A 5-year retrospective study was conducted using three groups of students (n = 1736) to determine if the availability of streaming video in Years 1-2 of the basic science curriculum affected overall Step 1 scores for first-time test-takers. The results demonstrated a positive effect on program outcomes as streaming video became more readily available to students. Based on these findings, streaming video technology seems to be a viable tool to complement in-class delivery methods, to accommodate the needs of medical students, and to provide options for meeting the challenges of delivering the undergraduate medical curriculum. Further studies need to be conducted to continue validating the effectiveness of streaming video technology.
摘要：
信息技术通过提供多种课程交付方法来帮助满足当今医学生的需求。视频流是一种电子学习技术，它使用互联网提供课程，同时让学生控制内容的交付。关于医学院中流媒体视频的有效性的研究很少。对三组学生（n=1736）进行了一项为期5年的回顾性研究，以确定基础科学课程1-2年级的流媒体视频的可用性是否影响了首次应试者的第1步的整体成绩。结果表明，随着流媒体视频变得更容易提供给学生，对节目成果产生了积极影响。基于这些发现,流媒体视频技术似乎是补充课堂交付方法的可行工具，为了满足医学生的需要，并为应对提供本科医学课程的挑战提供选择。需要进行进一步的研究，以继续验证流媒体视频技术的有效性。
