For the past several years, the UNMC Department of Public Relations has been creating brief one-minute videos each week for KETV (Ch. 7) in Omaha. The videos feature UNMC faculty as they answer basic questions of interest to the average viewer. The segments run on KETV’s morning newscasts on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. They also are distributed to other Nebraska TV and radio stations after they air on Ch. 7.
Here’s a sampling of four of the videos:
Video 1: Elizabeth Harlow, M.D., internal medicine-geriatrics, “When do I need a geriatrician?”
Video 2: Chris Deibert, M.D., surgery-urologic surgery, “Do vasectomy reversals actually work?”
Video 3: Chad Vokoun, M.D., internal medicine-general medicine, “What should patients do to prevent getting hospital-acquired infections?”
Video 4: Corrigan McBride, M.D., surgery-general surgery, “What are the different types of bariatric surgery, and how do I know which one is right for me?”
