Healthcare video scripts: AI prompt and review checklist
Healthcare video scripts should turn one verified educational question into separate long- and short-form outlines without inventing medical claims, diagnosing viewers, exposing patient information or promising outcomes. Use the prompt below to draft structure, then require independent clinical, source, privacy and professional-advertising review before anything is published.
Reviewed . Educational workflow only; not medical, legal or regulatory advice.
Reusable prompt
Generate ten review-ready video outlines
Create 10 educational healthcare video script outlines for [CLINICIAN OR ORGANIZATION], covering [SPECIALTY OR TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE] on YouTube and Reels/Shorts.
Context:
- Country and applicable professional body: [COUNTRY / REGULATOR]
- Intended audience: [AUDIENCE]
- Educational objective: [OBJECTIVE]
- Approved source set: [OFFICIAL GUIDELINES / PEER-REVIEWED SOURCES]
- Tone: [PLAIN-LANGUAGE / TECHNICAL]
- Available production setup: [PHONE / CAMERA / STUDIO]
For each topic, provide:
1. A precise, non-sensational title.
2. The audience question being answered.
3. A 10-15 second opening that states the educational scope without fear or outcome promises.
4. A long-form outline: context, evidence-based explanation, common misunderstanding, uncertainty or limitation, when a person should seek individualized professional help, and source list.
5. A 30-60 second version that preserves the same boundary and does not turn a nuanced issue into a diagnosis.
6. A visual plan using only material with documented rights, consent, privacy protection and required attribution.
7. A pre-publication review list for factual accuracy, current guidance, professional advertising rules, privacy, accessibility and conflicts of interest.
Do not invent clinical claims, statistics, patient stories, credentials, testimonials, sources, diagnosis, treatment instructions or guaranteed outcomes. Mark every statement that requires review by a qualified clinician or compliance professional. If the supplied sources do not support a claim, omit it and identify the evidence gap.

Rights, privacy and publishing gate
Document rights for footage, music, graphics, trademarks and source images.
Do not place identifiable patient information in a public AI service.
Confirm consent, anonymity and withdrawal procedures where patient material is involved.
Check captions, contrast, pronunciation and accessible descriptions.
Archive the approved script, sources, reviewer and publication version.
Brazilian physician advertising boundary
The Brazilian Federal Council of Medicine says its current medical-advertising framework is Resolution CFM 2,336/2023 and provides a dedicated manual. Official CFM guidance describes conditions for educational patient imagery, consent, anonymity, source rights and avoiding result promises. Rules and interpretations can change, so verify the current resolution, manual, regional requirements and the exact proposed video before publication.
Include the audience question, educational scope, evidence source, plain-language explanation, uncertainty or limitation, a route to individualized professional help, visual-rights notes and a documented clinical and compliance review before publication.
Can an AI-generated healthcare script be published without review?
No. Generative output can be incomplete, outdated or fabricated. A qualified clinician should verify medical accuracy, and the responsible publisher should review professional advertising rules, privacy, consent, accessibility and source rights for the intended jurisdiction and channel.
Can one script be reused for YouTube and Reels?
The same evidence base can support both formats, but shortening must not remove limitations, turn education into diagnosis, or create a promise of results. Produce a separate short version and review it independently.
What Brazilian rule should physicians check for medical advertising?
Brazilian physicians should review the current CFM medical-advertising framework, including Resolution CFM 2,336/2023 and the CFM manual, plus any later guidance and applicable regional requirements. This page is not a legal or regulatory determination.
