As residents we get bombarded with resources & info abt “wellness”.

But there’s often a mismatch between institutional discourses of #residentwellness & and learner-generated discourses.

We often point out what wellness is NOT. So what IS “wellness”?

Welcome to my thread 💌 I research discourses of wellness in medical education using critical social science methods. We look at how language & social practices reproduce & legitimize the way we understand specific phenomena. How do “wellness” discourses perpetuate cultural norms of the “good resident”?
