Today, on Rare Disease Day 2023, AMWA launches a new campaign to promote the awareness of rare diseases through the power of film. This initiative unites AMWA’s interest in the medical humanities, medical education, and sex and gender health and will hopefully encourage increased knowledge, research, and therapeutics for rare diseases.
From Sunday February 26 – March 4, tune in to watch Rare, an empowering film about “an extraordinary mother in a race against time to find a treatment for her daughter’s rare genetic disease.” Directed by Maren Grainger-Monsen, M.D. and Nicole Newnham, this film is not to be missed.
