 Films in Medical Education 

Last month Professor Pablo Gonzales Blasco, director of SOBRAMFA (the Brazilian Society of Family Medicine) ran a workshop on Cinema in Medical Education at University College London, hosted by Professor Trisha Greenhalgh. Using clips from non-medical films including The Lion King, Pretty Women and Men of Honour among others, he described how this process can help students understand the humanity of being a doctor, and provides a forum for discussion and reflection. Professor Blasco is a contributor to Cinemeducation and Professor Greenhalgh is author of What Seems to be the Trouble? “We need to teach the art of doctoring”, said Professor Blasco.
