The Craft of Generalism and Whole Person Care
Although family doctors and general practitioners know instinctively that their work is unique and sophisticated, they often cannot articulate their own valuable contribution to healthcare. Naming, valuing and honing generalism is ever more important as current healthcare policy often prioritizes fragmented and specialized ways of knowing that can miss patterns across the whole person. Visiting Australian family doctor and generalist researcher Dr Johanna Lynch will present some of her doctoral research on the Craft of Generalism and a new Whole Person Domains systems review designed for family doctors. This work is practical, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and healing-oriented – designed to encourage and build confidence in the underlying philosophy and practice of generalism.
