Video demonstrations are the most comprehensive way to learn procedures and contain information that cannot be mastered using photograph format. Videos on Urgent Procedures in Medical Practice presents 50 procedural skills demonstrated on partial task trainers, full body simulators, cadavers and/or on real patients in real clinical scenarios. This comprehensive video atlas contains high‒yield information on core procedures in family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, surgery and obstetrics and gynecology. In our videos, 20 experienced clinicians and experts in different disciplines use clinical simulation to guide medical students, nursing students, physicians in training, junior doctors and nurses through most common procedures in clinical practice. All the videos include learning objectives, indications, contraindications, universal precautions, complications, basic equipment and step-by step guide how to prepare and execute the procedure.

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to my collaborators, Claudia and Jonathan for devoting their time, knowledge, skills and creativity in this project. I thank each of the contributors for sharing their expertise in procedural skills. Special thanks to Dr Lisa Montgomery who proposed and initiated this publication, and to my colleagues, collaborators, residents and students who provide continued sources of encouragement and inspiration.

I also wish to thank the dedicated staff of M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, New Delhi, India, who adopted new challenges and encouraged me to complete this innovative step-by-step guide to procedural skills. The team has always provided excellent technical support.

I would like to acknowledge and thank the Willed Body Program at TTUHSC El Paso Paul L Foster School of Medicine for collaboration in this educational project. Last but not least, I want to thank the Center for Advanced Teaching and Assessment in Clinical Simulation (ATACS) staff for providing a great and inspiring environment for video recording. This would not have been possible without their continuous support!
