Missing from this dialogue has been the question of what clinician-educators gain from teaching. In this Invited Commentary on Frija-Gruman and colleagues' article \"Learning Through Teaching: How Physicians Learn Medicine in Authentic Clinical Contexts,\" the authors go beyond how and what clinician-educators learn through teaching to what drives clinicians to teach while caring for patients. Using a conceptual framework put forth by Daniel Pink built around the intrinsic domains of autonomy, mastery, and purpose, the authors posit that there are deep-seated psychological motivational principles underpinning the passion for teaching. The authors explore how teaching within patient care uniquely fosters and enhances autonomy (choice over what to do and how), mastery (the pursuit of betterment), and purpose (doing something that feels deeply meaningful and important), and in doing so, they present their rationale for how teaching gives back more to the teacher than is typically recognized. The authors then discuss the obstacles to the realization of teaching's full potential and conclude with a call for recognizing the intrinsic motivators as a key element for clinician-educators and clinical education to thrive.</p>","PeriodicalId":50929,"journal":{"name":"Academic Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142774432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the risks of reporting sexual violence, discrimination, or harassment, it is important to understand how women in medicine use platforms like Twitter to publicly discuss their experiences. With such knowledge, the profession can use the public documentation of women in medicine for transformative change.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>Using reflexive thematic analysis, 7,983 tweets (posted between November 2017 and January 2020) associated with #WomenInMedicine, #MeTooMedicine, and #TimesUpHC were systematically analyzed in 2020-2022, iteratively moving from describing their content, to identifying thematic patterns, to conceptualizing the purpose the tweets appeared to serve.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The Twitter engagement of women in medicine was likened to \"holding beacons of light to shine in the corners [harassers] are hoping to keep dark,\" both reinforcing the message that \"gender bias is alive and well\" and calling for a \"complete transformation in how we approach\" the problem.

By sharing their experiences publicly, women in medicine seemed to make a persuasive argument that time is up, providing would-be allies with supporting evidence of sexual violence, discrimination, and harassment. Their tweets suggest a roadmap for what is needed to achieve gender equity, ensure that lack of awareness is no longer an excuse, and ask bystanders to grapple with why women's accounts continue to be overlooked, ignored, or dismissed and how they will support women moving forward.</p>","PeriodicalId":50929,"journal":{"name":"Academic Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1405-1412"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141749607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
