Dear Colleague,

We are delighted to announce the free premiere of three short documentary films, to be shown virtually this Saturday, January 8th, starting at 10 am.  The registration link is provided below.  The films were developed by the very exciting FRAME project, and the acronym stands for Faces Redefining the Art of Medical Education. These films were produced as an educational tool to help medical students have a better understanding of some of the everyday experiences of individuals with IDD, their families, and other caregivers.

Each short film is followed by Q&A. These are the film's titles:

  • Supported Decision Making
  • Epilepsy in our Adult I/DD Community
  • Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease in Adults Living with Down Syndrome
Two members of the Mainstreaming Medical Care Advisory Board have been actively involved in the FRAME project:

  • Dr. Seth Keller is a neurologist in Burlington county, who is a past-president of the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry (AADMD) 
  • Leone Murphy, APN, is a nurse practitioner and Chair of our Advisory Board. She is also the mother of Michelle, a vivacious woman with Down syndrome, and they are both featured in the third film on "Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease"

Please share the information about the free virtual film premiere with others who may be interested.
