Evaluation of audiovisual teaching materials in family practice: a report of review activities, 1979-1980.

Although audiovisual teaching materials are commonly used in medical education at all levels, it remains difficult for educators and interested learners to become aware of what is available, of good quality, and relevant to specific learning needs. The Audiovisual Review Committee has functioned since 1974 as a subcommittee of the Education Committee of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine. This paper lists the audiovisual materials that have been reviewed during the last two years, and briefly comments upon the review process that has been used over the last seven years.
