Films and Study Guides

Throughout the winter season, the Center for Ethics and Caring at Sanford Health hosts a monthly film review. Sessions include viewing all or part of a film followed by discussion. Each film showcases a provocative topic geared to promote group discussion, enrich course syllabi and provide varying perspectives on current controversies in health, medicine, ethics, spirituality and/or society.
