Catalyst films about Health Experiences are short films made up of narratives – interviews of people discussing their health experiences and experiences receiving health care. A primary goal of these films is to get patients, families, consumers, health care professionals, educators, and researchers all talking together about how they can improve experiences of health care.

These films are created and designed to ensure there is adequate, meaningful and active representation of patient voices and experiences in improvements, co-design, or education processes. Active patient participation and engagement in these activities are what make catalyst films such a useful and unique resource for health service groups. Catalyst films are both a patient engagement / co-design method and a participatory visual method.

Editor in Chief:

Family Medicine, an official journal of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, aims to publish high-quality, original scholarship about education in family medicine and primary care. The journal publishes original research, systematic reviews, narrative essays, and policy analyses relevant to the discipline of family medicine, particularly focusing on primary care medical education, health workforce policy, and health services research. The journal does not publish clinical review articles.

Family Medicine is relied on by more than 5,000 family physicians, psychologists, sociologists, and public health specialists for the latest research and commentary on medical education.

Family Medicine is indexed in Medline, PubMed, MEDLINE, EBSCO, EMBASE, Health and Psychosocial Instruments, Current Contents®/Clinical Medicine, Science Citation Index, and select articles from the Educational Resources Information Center Clearinghouse on Higher Education.
