The Transformative Power of Shame in Medical Education: Challenges, Opportunities, and Imperatives
Presented by: Will Bynum, MD, PhD, Duke University, USA
Date and Time: Sunday, June 15, 2025, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM MDT
In this talk, the speaker will utilize compelling personal narrative, empiric findings from his research program on shame in medical learners, and the peer-reviewed literature to guide attendees through an exploration of shame in medical education. He will ultimately argue that shame is a ubiquitous, heavily veiled experience in medical education with which medical learners and faculty must constructively engage. He will explain how shame engagement is both a pressing imperative and a transformative opportunity, and he will outline shame competence as a framework to begin achieving it.
