Personal creative writing is increasingly used in medical schools to foster self-reflection. This article looks particularly at poetry as a vehicle for expressing personal experiences of professional development. The authors present a series of poems written by students at their medical school. In them, the students reflect on embryology, gross anatomy, telling (or not telling) bad news to trusting patients (and family members), encountering death, and encountering their own anger and frustration with the demands of medicine. These poems not only capture individual students' feelings and imaginations but also demonstrate the students' constant struggle to sustain their idealism about medicine throughout the four years of their education.
个人创意写作在医学院校中越来越多地被用于促进自我反思。本文特别关注诗歌作为一种表达职业发展个人经历的载体。作者展示了一系列医学院学生创作的诗歌。在这些诗歌中,学生们反思了胚胎学、大体解剖学、向信任的患者(及其家属)告知(或不告知)坏消息、面对死亡以及面对自己因医学要求而产生的愤怒和挫败感。这些诗歌不仅捕捉到了个别学生的感受和想象,还展示了学生们在四年的医学教育中为坚守对医学的理想主义而不断进行的挣扎。
