Medical students feel that their ability to carry out procedures is lower than desired. Whereas supervised learning is easily arranged at scheduled appointment clinics, experience in emergency procedures often accumulates only during practical training. A large part of the students had turned to the internet in search for advice or repetition about typical emergency procedures. With the growing yearly intake by the faculties it will be difficult to increase contact teaching at the clinical stage, but it is possible to improve its quality through flipped classroom. Procedural videos found in the internet are well suited for stimuli prior to contact teaching.
