The Caregivers film can be used effectively to stimulate discussion and promote understanding of the experiences of family caregivers for medical students, physicians, housestaff and practicing clinicians.

This film displays the triad of interaction between physicians, families and patients, and models styles of communication and interpersonal dynamics.

Reflection on the film can help clinicians process their experiences caring for patients and families facing serious illness.  The Discussion Guide can help teachers and supervisors facilitate an engaging discussion about the clinician-family caregiver relationship.
