Film course for medical students: effects on feelings and empathy
This study looks at whether watching and discussing films about medicine and fairness can help medical students better understand their own feelings (alexithymia) and feel more empathy for others. If you are a first-, second-, or third-year medical student, you could join either the group that takes this special film course or the group that does not.
