Purpose:
Analyze some of the characteristics of the publications focused on commercial cinema as a learning tool for university students engaged in health sciences degrees.
Design And Methods:
The review was based on the search of information in three electronic databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL and ERIC.
Findings:
54 papers were selected and analyzed.
Conclusion:
Cinema is a commonly used resource; however there is still a lack of studies demonstrating its usefulness and validity. This review is limited on its analysis by the fact that a large number of experiences are described as having a loose design.
