A PearlCast is a concise visual lecture in clinical medicine. The term "PearlCast" was coined by Francis S. Nuthalapaty, MD in July of 2011 while working with a medical student on a project to develop innovative learning tools for the M3 Clerkship. The PearlCasts included on this YouTube channel were developed by Greenville Health System Ob/Gyn faculty members at the USC School of Medicine Greenville.
PearlCasts are designed to assist learners in the health sciences. These materials should not be considered inclusive of all proper methods of care or exclusive of other methods of care reasonably directed at obtaining the same results. The ultimate judgment regarding care of a particular condition must be made by the physician in light of the individual circumstances presented by the patient.
