Playing with our ‘self’ in medicine: A discourse analysis of ‘self’ exploration

Michel Foucault was interested in two things: correcting what he was interested in and good puns. In the spirit of both, in this piece, I muse on medical education's fascination with its 'self'. More specifically, through a playful discourse analysis, I will examine medical education's use of the 'self' to critique the limits of its 'self' exploration.

Abstract

Michel Foucault was interested in two things: correcting what he was interested in and good puns. In the spirit of both, in this piece, I muse on medical education's fascination with its 'self'. More specifically, through a playful discourse analysis, I will examine medical education's use of the 'self' to critique the limits of its 'self' exploration.
