Ever wondered how to master complex veterinary procedures without someone physically guiding you? Technical Tutorial Videos (TTVs) are revolutionizing veterinary education by providing visual demonstrations that text alone simply cannot convey.

In this illuminating conversation, three-time TTV author Dr. Rebecca Bishop shares her journey creating peer-reviewed video manuscripts for the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. She reveals how these innovative publications serve as powerful teaching tools for techniques ranging from equine tracheobronchial washing to surgical instrument handling for left-handed practitioners. This latter topic holds special significance for Dr. Bishop, who was once told to "give up hope of being a surgeon" because she was left-handed – a limitation she has thoroughly disproven and now helps others overcome through her video teaching.

Dr. Bishop demystifies the production process, explaining how she plans content strategically, captures video footage, and records audio separately to create polished, educational resources. She shares practical advice for potential video creators: "Don't let fear of performance or technology hold you back." Unlike standard online videos, these manuscripts undergo rigorous peer review while remaining open access, allowing authors to retain copyright and share widely for teaching purposes. The format provides unique opportunities for collaboration, with Dr. Bishop involving veterinary trainees in scriptwriting and production.

Whether you're a practicing veterinarian seeking to expand your technical repertoire, an educator looking for innovative teaching methods, or a veterinary professional considering sharing your expertise through this medium, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of veterinary education. Watch Dr. Bishop's published technical tutorial videos on the AVMA Journals website or YouTube channel and consider how you might contribute to this growing educational resource.
