Teaching joy transforms the future of medical practice

Psychiatrist Sarah Hollander, clinical psychologist Kelly D. Holder, and physician advocate and physical therapist Kim Downey discuss their article "Joy in medicine: a new culture." Sarah, Kelly, and Kim explore how the culture of medicine must evolve from a system of endurance to one of meaningful well-being. They examine the critical role of medical education in shaping the next generation, arguing that joy is not just an emotion but an alignment of purpose that can be taught and modeled. The conversation highlights the power of shared vulnerability and how caring for each other through heartbreak fosters a deeper, more resilient professional community.
