Teaching Skin Diseases to Medical Students through Film
Abstract A wide range of skin diseases have been depicted in cinema. Movies remain a popular form of entertainment, and this artistic medium has great potential for cultural impact due to its ready availability through broadcast media, internet, rental and purchase. Teaching medical students about dermatology through commercially available films allows participants to learn more about common and uncommon skin diseases, and creates an opportunity to critically examine the role skin diseases play in these productions. A four week, didactic class offered at The University of Texas Medical Branch is described. Sharing this information with other medical educators may make dermatology education more accessible to medical students.
