Personal Growth
摘要
The identity of a doctor is informed by the identity of the person. Life encounters, experiences, and struggles contribute to the personal growth and wisdom of doctors, shaping their perspectives, attitudes, and understanding of themselves. These personal essays, written by doctors and trainees, are about different challenges they have faced in their life journey, including bias and racism, immigration, cultural identity, emotional stressors, fatigue and burnout, work–life balance, and more. This is a subcollection from the book, Becoming a Better Physician, which contains stories from doctors and doctors-to-be about obstacles they faced, how they responded, and how the experience affected their lives, work, or perspectives to make them better physicians.
