In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Chavon Onumah to explore the anti-deficit approach in medical education, emphasizing the importance of recognizing strengths in our learners rather than focusing on perceived shortcomings. We discuss the importance of emotional well-being in healthcare and creating supportive and psychologically safe learning environments and how shifting to an anti-deficit framework in medical education can empower learners, promote a growth mindset, and reduce feelings of imposter syndrome. Dr. Onumah also highlights practical strategies and resources for educators to employ an anti-deficit framework when working with learners.
