Competence Is Necessary, but Not Sufficient
A Life-Grounded Framework for Enabling Conditions and Distributed Accountability After CanMEDS 2026By Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length1h 15m
About this audiobook
What happens when medicine expertly treats illness but the conditions producing it remain unchanged? In this listener-friendly edition, Dr. Bichara Sahely follows a child with recurrent asthma and a second case involving cardiometabolic disease, food systems, and Indigenous food sovereignty. He introduces LIFE — Life, Influences, Fit, and Evidence — as a practical, non-sequential framework connecting clinical care with safe housing, nutritious food, accountable institutions, legitimate community authority, and planetary health. Grounded in CanMEDS 2026 and the Ottawa Charter, this independent conceptual manuscript shows how to treat immediate danger, prevent recurring harm, and enable the conditions in which people and ecosystems can thrive.
