The use of cinema in medical education has the potential to teach students about a variety of subjects, for instance by illustrating a lecture on communication skills with a clip of Sir Lancelot Spratt (Doctor In The House, 1954) demonstrating a paternalistic, doctor-centred approach to medicine or nurturing an ethical discussion around palliative care and dying using the cinematic adaptation of American playwright Margaret Edson's Wit (2001). Much has been written about this teaching method across several medical academic disciplines. It is the aim of this review to assimilate the various experiences in order to gain an insight into current expertise. The results are presented by the following headings under which the articles were examined: the source journal, year of publication, article type, theme, content, target, authors, if a clip or the entire film was used, and if any feedback was documented. This is followed by a chronological account of the development of the literature. Such an approach will allow the reader to gather specific information and contextualise it. This review does not critically appraise the quality of the evidence nor does it determine its validity, rather it is hoped that having read the review educators will know where to locate previous accounts of work that will help them develop more engaging pedagogy.

Fiction and film as teaching instruments in higher health care education

Teaching of the sciences of behaviour in higher health care education is sparse. The authors believe that students with increased knowledge and education of the human mind and soul would have a wider understanding of the human nature. Physiology describes the anatomy and function of the body, but in order to describe life/the living human, they were looking for a tool to describe the mind/ soul as well as the body; to describe the connection between the two. Their intention was to teach the knowledge of the human being as an exciting experience and not just as a patient but as a larger concept; a human being in all its dimensions.To understand the multidimensional structure of behaviour, as many perspectives as possible are needed. In using film and fiction in education, the authors want the students to use their own sensory systems and emotions to learn about behaviour. As fiction and film expose the microcosmos, the audience will experience the microcosmos in the spotlight. The purpose of this article is to stimulate and inspire other teachers to use these means in higher health care education.

“…The prevalence of movie misrepresentations of schizophrenia is difficult to ascertain because information about portrayals of schizophrenia in movies has been derived from either descriptive studies of a limited set of exemplar movies (5) or single case reports with an author's analysis of one or two movies (21,23). Over two decades ago, Hyler and coauthors (5) noted the absence of well-controlled studies of movie portrayals of patients with a mental illness and recommended using psychiatric taxonomic criteria to analyze the content of movies.…”
