This article presents a blueprint for effective video media production in physician assistant (PA) education based on validated pedagogical practices found in the literature. Using the cognitive load theory and a practical blueprint for video production designed for PA educators, this method aims to improve video production practices and better engage students within a format that improves learning outcomes for a diverse body of PA students. Students are interacting with videos, and there is an opportunity for educators to hone practices in video production to enhance student learning. A literature review of pedagogical practices in video production guides the production blueprint for video production. The practical principles of cognitive load theory improve efficiency in assimilating new information, enhance student engagement, and facilitate active and deep learning for a student learner engaging with the instructional video. Based on the literature and the author's educational video creation experience, a guide in the form of a production blueprint specific to PA education is proposed.
