Do No Harm: Film and Panel Discussion

Students and staff of Noorda-COM are invited to a screening of Do No Harm: Exposing the Hippocratic Hoax. This is a 60-minute film that sheds light on the challenges and realities of mental health among medical students and physicians and the real stories behind it.

Synopsis: "Jumping off hospital rooftops, hanging themselves in janitorial closets, overdosing on drugs—they’re A students and their suicides are often like well-planned school projects. Doctors are our healers, yet they have the highest rate of suicide among any profession. Medical students and families of physicians touched by suicide come out of the shadows to expose this silent epidemic and the truth about a sick healthcare system that not only drives our brilliant young doctors to take their own lives but puts patients lives at risk too." Symon, Robyn (2020) Do No Harm Film. https://www.donoharmfilm.com/about#synopsis

Following the film, we will host a panel discussion featuring Dr. Mecham, whose personal journey and experiences are highlighted in the film, along with Dr. Mower, who has been personally affected by its themes. Dr. Sara Beaudry-Wiltse will also be present to speak on student wellness and resources.
