Under Our Skin

As many of you are aware, Turn the Corner (TTC) is the official Outreach Partner for the documentary Under Our Skin. The film investigates the shocking human, medical, and political dimensions of Lyme disease. We are extremley excited and proud to announce its theatrical release!

The film opened in New York City on June 19th at the IFC Center and will continue to be shown across the country in the coming months. Please join TTC in celebrating the film's achievement and support the movie by spreading the word to family and friends and coming to the NYC showing.

This prestigious film has already earned many awards, including Best in Infectious Diseases at the International Health and Medical Media Awards, and has been selected as a finalist for the Audience Choice Award at the Tribeca Film Festival (2008).  The film's theatrical release is a huge accomplishment and testament to the importance of the film, Lyme disease, and everything we fight for.

Physicians Training Program

This groundbreaking program provides medical practitioners the opportunity to study with a Lyme-literate health care professional to recognize and treat Lyme disease successfully. In about two weeks, trainees become Lyme-literate through watching mentoring doctors in action with patients, reviewing different cases, and learning their individual approaches to diagnosis and treatment. These professionals bring this skill set back to their community in order to better care for their patients.Over 100 doctors have already been trained through this program, helping thousands of people with Lyme disease.
