Lights, Camera, Empathy!
Caring for patients includes connecting with them. These short films help stimulate an exchange of ideas within the healthcare community.
The Doctor/Patient Relationship
In “Listening,” the art of paying attention (not just hearing a patient) can be key to a diagnosis. Watch the film, and then head to “Teaching To Students” to view a classroom conversation. Watch "The Family" for a discussion on breaking bad news. Watch "The Elephant in the Waiting Room" with Denise the Empathy Elephant™ for using empathy to help mitigate bias.
Conversation Starters
Icebreaker films, produced by The Empathy Project and improv group, Second City Works, help promote discussion on how healthcare providers communicate with patients.
Voices
Patients sharing their healthcare experiences can help provide insight to both clinicians and patients.
