| Description: |
An outstanding film that explores end-of -life issues in relationship to first and second year medical students. This film will help medical and nursing students as well as health care professionals understand how to relate to those who are dying with compassion, empathy and understanding. A must see for all those involved in health care. -----Gold, 2002 National Mature Media Awards----- Three Star Rating, End-of-Life Physician Education Resource Center (EPERC)----- Honorable Mention, 50th Columbus International Film & Video Festival----- What the Media is Saying... READY OR NOT, compellingly describes the wide emotional and intellectual chasm that medical students must bridge in order to communicate effectively with dying patients--a species of human they have encountered rarely. Surely the students who have been through this remarkable program will be better, more sensitive physicians as a result. Their stories--and the insights of the program's organizers--amply demonstrate the importance of this type of experience for our nation's doctors-in-training." - Victoria Weisfeld, Senior Officer, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation." |
