    This study investigates the effectiveness of a short film, END-O, as an educational tool forenhancing medical students' understanding of endometriosis and its impact on patients' quality of life.Endometriosis, a prevalent yet often underdiagnosed condition affecting women, presents significantphysical and emotional challenges. A qualitative approach was employed, involving 23 sixth-year medicalstudents randomly assigned to either a study group (n=11) that viewed the film or a control group (n=12) thatdid not. Following a lecture on endometriosis, both groups completed questionnaires assessing theirunderstanding and perceptions of the disease. The study group demonstrated significantly greaterrecognition of symptoms (p = 0.005) and expressed more detailed insights regarding the disease's impact onlife, including emotional and social dimensions. The findings suggest that the film effectively promotesempathy and a deeper understanding of endometriosis among future healthcare providers, highlighting theimportance of integrating humanistic approaches in medical education. This intervention may contribute toaddressing the critical underdiagnosis and undertreatment of endometriosis
