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”?
