Embracing Self-Honesty and Vulnerability in Medical School Education

In this episode of MedEd Thread, we talk with Dr. Stacey Jolly, Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of Career Advising, who explores the vital role of self-honesty and its integration into the medical school curriculum. Dr. Jolly sheds light on how the concept of self-honesty influences student reflection, vulnerability and growth, which is particularly important within the problem-based learning environment, where it's important to be honest about when we know something and when we don't. The conversation also touches on how embracing a growth mindset and high ethical standards can enhance both personal development and professional integrity.
