The film, which was premiered at the Science on Screen festival, demonstrates concepts and exercises used in clinical empathy education and\u00a0will be soon used in several medical (humanities) curricula internationally.<\/p>\n

Rehearsals for Empathy<\/strong> introduces us to methods such as \u201cRainman exercise\u201d and \u201cbird’s eye view\u201d, through which medical students learn about emotional alignment with the patient.\u00a0<\/span>It <\/span>brings to surface questions about how the patient should be encountered in times of suffering, and what the role of a modern physician might be. Should the physician \u201cfeel\u201d what the patient is feeling, or rather stay detached to be able to function without emotional overwhelm? How can we help medical students to be more attuned to what the patient is going through, while following clinical protocols under time pressure?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This film-based inquiry has been financially supported by the Academy of Finland, Tampere University and Sheffield Hallam University. The film trailer can be seen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Science on Screen Film Festival<\/a>, hosted in Galway from 5th to 8th November 2020, invited audiences of all types to immerse themselves in scientific storytelling, and hear from filmmakers and researchers on critical topics such as climate change and health research.<\/p>\n

The Lule\u00e5 International Film Festival<\/span><\/a> in Sweden encourages short, feature & documentary filmmakers from around the world.<\/p>\n
