Citing Audio and Video Publications on Your CV (AMA 10th edition)

Audio and Video Publications on CV © Can Stock Photo / steinar14

Updated on 2-28-24 based on the AMA Manual of Style (11th edition, 2020)

Medical education is changing and so too are the types of publications with high impact. No longer do we live in a world where traditional journal publications are the only meaningful contribution to academia and to our specialty. The “non-traditional” publications include podcasts, educational videos, and blog posts. Just like journal articles, these can be done very well with thorough research, attention to detail, and even peer review. They can have broad reach, inspire change, and initiate conversation.

Curriculum Vitae Citation

Many people are uncertain how to cite this work on their curriculum vitae (CV). The structure of a CV will vary from one individual to the next, but let me share how I recommend citing audio and video publications.

First of all, cite them under the category of “Publications.” Personally, I have subcategories for “Print,” “Audio,” and “Video.” If you don’t consider them publications, then why would your administrators?

Below are suggested formats and examples for audio and video publications to credit your work. Let’s build a culture of academic merit with multimedia publications.

ALiEM Book Club: Medical Apartheid

Rallies by white supremacists in Charlottesville, VA and the subsequent milquetoast response from the White House shocked many Americans. These events invoked a national discussion about how many of our public monuments, built to celebrate triumphs and critical moments from our country’s past, can also exhibit appalling acts of malevolence and cruelty, treatment that today is unacceptable. Similarly, our understanding of medical history has evolved. While many of us are aware of particular atrocities, such as the Tuskegee study or the nonconsensual obtaining of Hela cells from Henrietta Lacks, these stories are by no means isolated, and there are times in our country’s history in which harm was bestowed upon vulnerable populations, especially African Americans. Medical Apartheid unveils the long history of medical experimentation performed on African Americans and highlights some of the origins of our country’s health disparities. We provide a synopsis and discuss the book in greater detail on the Google Hangout below.
