Becoming and Being a Physician: A Developmental Journey
About this ebook
Taking an integrated approach, the authors consider the formal stages of a physician’s training including medical school, residency training and practice and review discourses around professionalism, competency-based education, lifelong learning, expertise development, reflection, and narrative that merge into the construct of medical professional identity formation.
Reflecting the dramatic changes that have occurred in the physician’s role, job description, and reality of modern clinical practice, further compounded by the pandemic, this new book will support and encourage medical educators to ensure that the enduring values of the medical profession prevail.
