A new way of teaching health students about genetic conditions

FRAME is a series of videos on children with genetic conditions and their families talking about their lives in general and from a medical standpoint. 

They were developed by Positive Exposure as a way to educate health professionals on conditions like Marfan and Down syndrome in a way that promotes the beauty and humanity of the participants. 

The goal is to get away from the "patient as a specimen" model of medical literature.

Positive Exposure is looking for health professionals and families to view the videos and give them feedback.

After viewing the videos, health professionals are asked to fill out this survey.

Families, people with the conditions and others in the community are encouraged to fill out this survey
