Short, practical and real
- Case-based. Built around a real clinical scenario.
- One clear teaching point. A technique, a decision, a device or a pitfall.
- Ideally under 10 minutes. Bigger topics can be split into short modules.
- The why, not just the what. Narrate your reasoning as you go.
- Visual. Point out findings on imaging, show devices and supplies.
- De-identified. No names, DOB, MRN, dates or identifying features.
Cases that work well
A foundational skill, a novel device, a complex decision, a complication and how you managed it, or tips and tricks you wish you had learned sooner.
Recording tips
- A phone is fine. Narration and editing matter more than resolution.
- Save fluoro or DSA during the case, then narrate the images later in your office with a screen recorder such as Loom.
- Film devices and supplies afterward, even the next day in the supply room.
- Not sure your case fits? Book a time to talk it through.
Patient privacy checklist
- Cover or crop every identifier on every screen: name, DOB, MRN and timestamps.
- Use "de-identify images" on PACS when you can.
- Avoid tattoos, scars and faces. Do not film others in the room without their consent.
- Adjust demographic details when narrating, for example shift the age slightly.
- Watch your video once more before you share it.

Questions contributors ask
What is a Pearl?
A short, curated procedural video, ideally under 10 minutes, where a clinician shares practical knowledge from a real case: a procedural tip, a device, a decision or a pitfall. Every Pearl is peer-vetted for quality and relevance.
Do I need to edit the video myself?
No. Send raw footage. We edit it.
How do I send a large video file?
Upload it right in the form: files up to 5 GB each go straight to our private storage. Keep the page open until the upload finishes. You can also paste a Google Drive, Dropbox or YouTube link (unlisted is fine) set so anyone with it can view.
Do I need approval from my institution?
Policies vary, so check with your institution if you are unsure. Many hospitals, especially teaching institutions, include consent for educational photography and video in their procedural consent forms. HIPAA permits educational use when all identifiable information is removed and the content is shared in a secure, professional setting like Wysdom.
Is every submission accepted?
No. Our physician editorial board reviews each one for clinical value, clarity and privacy, and we let you know the outcome.
