About this episode
In this episode, Matt interviews Taim Dawod about his journey in creating educational content for YouTube and the challenges he faced in medical education.
When you solve your own learning problems, you can accidentally build the resource everyone else was missing. In this episode, Matt sits down with Taim Dawod, a medical doctor from Norway who started a medical education YouTube channel in his first year of med school. Taim gets into his background studying anatomy and the problems he faced with the delivery of the learning. He goes on to explain the techniques he developed to solve those problems and how that led him to becoming a full-time content creator. He also talks about his view on the traditional lecture format in university teaching , and where it falls short for many students. He points out the gaps that are created through disjointed delivery and the importance of ‘the why’ when communicating complex topics. Taim’s main take is that everybody has something valuable to teach. There is someone out there that will benefit from what you have to say, and you will continue to sharpen your own knowledge along the way.
