Cinemeducation refers to the use of film in medical education. It was originally coined by Drs. Matthew Alexander, Hall, and Pettice in the journal, Family Medicine, in 1994 [1] and later used by Drs. Matthew Alexander, Anna Pavlov, and Patricia Lenahan in their text of the same title. [2]
It is a part of a larger discipline, medical humanities which is an interdisciplinary field of medicine which includes the humanities (literature, philosophy, ethics, history and religion), social science (anthropology, cultural studies, psychology, sociology), and the arts (literature, theater, film, and visual arts) and their application to medical education and practice.
Many databases of the medically relevant content of movies, film, and other popular media exist in text (e.g., Cinemeducation by Alexander, et al) and online (e.g., Literature, Arts, and Medicine Database [3]) but they are incomplete.
