Patients as Teachers, Medical Students as Filmmakers: The Video Slam, A Pilot Study
Academic Medicine, 08/31/09

Shapiro D et al. – Students reported that the project affected what they planned to cover in clinic visits, increased their plans to involve patients in care, enhanced their appreciation for patient–centered care, improved their knowledge of community resources, improved their understanding of allied health professionals' roles, and taught them about patients' innovative adaptations. Overall, students rated the project highly for its impact on their education. Student and faculty viewers of the films found the films compelling and informative. The authors encountered the ethical dilemmas of deciding who controls the patients' recorded stories and navigating between patient anonymity/confidentiality and allowing patients to use their stories to teach.
