Cinemedicine 2012: The Trajectory of Illness

As part of the requirements of my first year medical students for their Family Medicine course, I asked them to produce mini-films that would highlight the trajectory of illness. Each group was given a unique case and their tasked was to portray the various stages and phases a sick individual and his/her family would undergo. The value of knowing the trajectory of illness is that the family physician can be aware of the emotional and physical stresses of his/her patients and their families and that the family physician can plan out a regimen that is sensitive to the emotional, mental, social and physical needs of his/her patients.
