Film premiere and discussion with director Jindřich Andrš and the protagonists, presented by Petr Andreas

 

The medical profession requires not only detailed knowledge of diagnostic and treatment procedures, but also personality qualities and communication skills. Can they be taught? Jindřich Andrš's observational film Body–Soul–Patient captures new methods of teaching at the Second Faculty of Medicine of Charles University. We follow medical students who find themselves in challenging simulated and real situations – for the first time in the role of a doctor.
