Documentary developed at Yale School of Medicine wins Emmy Award

A film about emergency medicine developed by a former resident at the Yale School of Medicine won an Emmy Award from the Boston/New England chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

The film, “24|7|365: The Evolution of Emergency Medicine,” won in the category of best documentary. Produced by Dr. Mark Brady, Ann Prum, and Donald Stader, the film chronicles the history of emergency medicine as a specialty. It is narrated by actor Anthony Edwards, who starred in the popular TV show “ER.”

Brady developed the film in 2012-2013 while he was still at Yale. It features two other former Yale residents, Dr. Faizon Arshad and Dr. Tracy Young. Many of the contemporary background scenes were shot in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the School of Medicine. The film may be viewed on the website of the Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association.

The regional Emmy Award honors original content created for traditional broadcast or cablecast mediums as well as non-traditional and emerging platforms for broadband and portable delivery.
