Sumario:The journey towards becoming a physician has always been a test of diligence and patience in perfecting the science and art of treating patients. This learning continues well-beyond medical school, requiring a life-long pursuit for acquiring and refining medical knowledge with advances in science and technology. After completing medical school and residency, however, many clinicians report feelings of dissatisfaction and disillusionment with their career path citing lack of autonomy, increased government regulations, and long hours. Although a complex challenge, encouraging creativity and enjoyment during medical education can provide future physicians new skills to advance their medical knowledge while maintaining their personal satisfaction and enjoyment. In this article, we examine examples of how empowering medical education to be enjoyable provides the foundation for producing healthier and more engaged clinicians in the workforce and beyond.
