1. LEARNING ETHICAL ASPECTS OF MEDICAL PRACTICE THROUGH CINEMA

Students should watch movies from the collection of films during two weeks period and engage in student presentations and interactive discussions on ethical aspects related to the movies. Students are allowed to watch moves individually on their own and as a group.Students brought new films and TV series to the collection for future reference. Case based discussion on real case scenarios was carried out by prof. NIlanthi De Silva.

Original idea of this student selected component was developed by Dr. PriyanjithPerara and further developed and conducted by Dr. Nirmala Perara and Dr. P. Paranitharan.
