ForwardThe Medical Profession Through the Lens of Human Flourishing
January 26, 2021 to December 14, 2021
Statement of Need
Ultimately the goal of the medical profession is to use ourselves-in-relationship, knowledge and powerful scientific tools to contribute to human flourishing.
The KNN (Kern National Network for Caring and Character in Medicine) is dedicated to the audacious goal of enhancing/bringing to the forefront/reimagining character and caring in the profession of medicine. But to what end?
We assert that the end goal is to, in community with many others, advance human flourishing by engaging in dialogue around key questions. In this project we seek to create an environment in which our students and residents (our future) can courageously/provocatively/boldly ask fundamental questions about the profession and its obligation/role in advancing human flourishing and addressing issues at the individual, community and societal level that keep us from achieving it.
What is human flourishing? How would medical education need to evolve if we embraced within our bailiwick the issues that cause human suffering in our society- violence, racism, lack of housing, hunger, poor education, criminal justice, climate change? What if we took as our responsibility to prepare future physician workforce to engage civically and politically? How would it be different or the same if we realigned these goals? Who would want to be physicians? Who should be physicians? How would physicians engage with systems of health care delivery? With communities? With other health professions? With society?
Purpose
- Challenge the profession to embrace an expansive definition of health through the lens of human flourishing
- Establish the KNN nationally/internationally as a leader in this conversation.
