Special Study Modules (SSMs) have developed in response to the General Medical Council's recommendations. St George's, University of London runs a 'Psychiatry and Film' SSM for medical students on the 5-year MBBS course. Many films have plots or characters that have a mental illness. Psychiatry & filmmaking share certain skills. Both seek to understand character, motivation and behaviour. Cinema therefore has the potential to be a useful tool for medical educational purposes. Specific to psychiatry, themes such as the accuracy of portrayals of different mental illness, the psychiatrist/patient relationship and living with a mental illness can be explored. General issues such as the role of the psychiatrist in society, medical ethics, professionalism and stigma can also be usefully highlighted for consideration and debate. This may encourage medical students to consider psychiatry as a potential career specialty and help reduce negative attitudes to mental illness.
特殊学习模块（SSMs）是根据英国医学总会的建议而开发的。伦敦大学圣乔治学院为攻读5年制医学学士课程的医学生开设了一个“精神病学与电影”特殊学习模块。许多电影都有涉及精神疾病的情节或角色。精神病学和电影制作有一些共同的技巧。两者都试图理解人物性格、动机和行为。因此，电影有潜力成为医学教育的有用工具。具体到精神病学，可以探讨不同精神疾病描绘的准确性、精神科医生/患者关系以及患有精神疾病的生活等主题。诸如精神科医生在社会中的角色、医学伦理、职业素养和污名化等一般问题也可以有效地凸显出来以供思考和辩论。这可能会鼓励医学生将精神病学视为一个潜在的职业专业，并有助于减少对精神疾病的负面态度。
