\"\u2018Remote<\/a>Student groups from the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine<\/a> will host a screening of the film \u201cRemote Area Medical\u201d on Thursday, Oct. 23, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., in the Gandhi Auditorium in White Hall on the Wright State campus.<\/p>\n

The event is free and open to the public. Parking is available in lots 16 and 17 near White Hall free of charge and without a permit.<\/p>\n

The Boonshoft School of Medicine Physician Leadership Development Program, the school\u2019s American Medical Student Association chapter and the school\u2019s American Medical Association are presenting the 79-minute film.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that viewers gain a better appreciation for people struggling to receive health care,\u201d said Nick Christian, a second-year medical student who is a member of the Physician Leadership Development Program. \u201cThis film puts a face to those struggling with health care accessibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directed by Jeff Reichert and Farihah Zaman, the film focuses on Remote Area Medical (RAM), a three-day pop-up medical clinic that serves the poorest and most vulnerable Americans. Viewers are taken to the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee to get an insider\u2019s perspective on the event \u2014 from the tense 3:30 a.m. ticket distribution that determines who gets to be seen by physicians to the routine check-ups that take dramatic turns for the worse.<\/p>\n

Boonshoft School of Medicine students have witnessed this firsthand. Second-year medical student Lauren Gunderman volunteered at a Remote Area Medical event in July 2012 in Wise, Va. She took medical histories, blood pressures and temperatures.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one had insurance,\u201d Gunderman said. \u201cI noticed little issues that could have been fixed easily. Without medical care, these small health problems became bigger problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Discussion will follow the film. The discussion panelists include Steven Bognar, a faculty member in the Wright State Department of Theatre, Dance and Motion Pictures and an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker; Kate Conway, M.D., an assistant professor of family medicine at the school of medicine; Lauren Gunderman, a medical student who volunteered at a Remote Area Medical event; Matthew Noordsij-Jones, M.D., state codirector for Doctors for America and a physician with Community Health Centers of Greater Dayton; and Julia Reichert, a three-time Oscar nominee and Wright State professor emeritus of motion pictures.<\/p>\n
