The ability for physicians and other health professionals to practice high quality care and attain professional satisfaction and meaning in their work has been under continued challenge. These critically important members of our communities experience ongoing threats to their well-being and hence to the quality of care they deliver.

This podcast explores the many ways that physicians can and do flourish, including a deeper exploration of what it means to work at the frontier of human frailty and suffering, while applying biomedical science and compassionate care to address the complexities of the human condition.

Will Bynum, MD, PhD., is an Associate Professor of Family Medicine in the Duke University School of Medicine. Prior to arriving at Duke in October 2017, he served for seven years on Active Duty in the US Air Force. Will's military service included four years of faculty duties in the NCC Family Medicine Residency Program, a deployment to East Africa as the senior medical director of a special operations command, and multiple overseas trips providing medical support to traveling congressional delegations. Will currently serves as the Duke Family Medicine Residency Program Director and Faculty Advisor to the Duke School of Medicine Student Wellness Committee. Will's primary academic interest centers on the role of self-conscious emotions (shame, guilt, and pride) in the medical learning experience. He has conducted some of this research through his PhD work in health professions education at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. In the conversation, Dr. Bynum shares his journey from a service-oriented upbringing to becoming a leader in addressing shame in healthcare, exploring how authentic human connection forms the foundation of his work as both clinician and educator. We also cover: ● His experiences in military service and the paradoxical psychological safety he found there compared to healthcare environments ● The personal crisis that led him to study shame in medical education and healthcare ● How storytelling and narrative serve as powerful tools for addressing shame ● The concept of \"shame competence\" and shame-sensitive practices in healthcare ● His vision for a more connected, authentic healthcare system that integrates humanities and creativity Dr. Bynum concludes by reflecting on finding joy in his life through conne…","meta_description":"Today, we are joined by Dr. Will Bynum.
