Nurturing the Clinician’s Voice
摘要
This chapter highlights the challenges involved in nurturing the clinician’s voice, and it also includes some attention to sources of professional dysfunction. We introduce the action cycle as a way of understanding the sequence that begins with one’s baseline experience, moves through the touchstone process, and then proceeds to judgment, action, and observation, leading back to baseline experience. We explain how this action cycle fits into clinical training as a means of nurturing the clinician’s voice. We conclude by discussing the role of the action cycle in advancing evidence-based health care.
