Transformative Learning in Healthcare and Helping Professions
Education: Building Resilient Professional Identities is a
co-edited book (Carter, Boden, and Peno) with invited chapters from
educators who share our passion for learning in healthcare and the
helping professions. The purpose of the book is to introduce
professional learners (students, residents, and others in
professional training) to transformative learning for building
resilient professional identities amid practice environments that
include widespread burnout and compassion fatigue. With a diverse
set of authors engaged in clinical and educational practice in
academic medicine, nursing, dentistry, physical therapy, mental
health counseling, science education, psychology, social work, and
inter-professional collaborative practice, we offer strategies for
building resilience throughout the years of professional training
and into professional practice. We do so through the experiences of
authors involved in healthcare and the helping professions to
illustrate how some are coping with the challenges of burnout and
compassion fatigue through learning that can be transformative.
This book explores the nature of professional identity formation by
examining ways that professionals in training can thrive amid the
challenges of today's stressful practice environments. First-hand
stories of resilience illustrate how learners, as well as educators
in these professions, are addressing adversity, career
decision-making, service to the underserved, and the self-care
needed to provide excellent care for others. The prominence of
transformative learning within adult learning theory is illustrated
for its potential to revise the meaning that learners make of their
experiences and open up new possibilities for renewed vitality in
professional education and practice environments. The book has two
primary audiences: professional learners in healthcare and helping
professions education, and their educators who are often
professional practitioners themselves. These educators have a
significant role in influencing the next generation of
professionals by serving as mentors, role models, and teachers. The
importance of fostering learning that is transformative has never
been more important than it is today for those who will work in
these demanding professions. We invite readers to discover
experiences and strategies for achieving individual wellbeing, as
well as opportunities for building a culture within professional
education and practice settings that will foster resilience.
