Why Use Documentary to Enhance Medical Education?

“The teenagers I photographed taught me a lot, even as many of them struggled with serious challenges in their own lives. Having gone out to meet with them in their world, I came away with no neat formulations about teenage pregnancy but rather a richer, more accurate context in which to see them, and I hope, better understand their experience.” – John Moses, M.D. (Duke Medical Perspectives, Volume 17, Number 2)
"Once we allow ourselves to listen with compassion and to let the full implications of their suffering register on us, we are in a position to change the state of affairs. It will not always lead to a cure, and it will not always lead to a change in the medical treatment, but it can lead to a radical change for the patient. It can confer recognition and communion, ending the isolation and strangerliness of sickness." -Rita Charon, general internist and director of Columbia University's Program in Narrative Medicine, from the book "Let me take a listen to your heart."
