Description

Background: Why Teach with Movies? Using movies to educate and facilitate reflection among physicians is an important instructional method for medical educators. As children, our parents taught us much through movies, but many medical teachers don't use this method either because they are unfamiliar with it, or are reluctant to use engage in the discussion that is so integral to this approach. Consider how Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" teaches us about valuing relationships; or Gary Cooper's "Sergeant York" models steadfastly holding onto one's values. This method of using movies to teach was re-discovered by one of the authors at a meeting of Family Medicine educators. At this meeting he and two co-presenters, both medical students, showed a movie clip to the session's attendees. After the clip was shown, this author commented on the scene, but was surprised to see his co-presenters crying. Afterwards, he asked: "What was wrong? You already knew what was in this clip, but you had this emotional response when viewing it. Why?" The students responded by identifying a key attribute of this method: "Preparing and previewing the clip is one thing, but watching it here made us think how the content of the clip applies to our lives".
