From Competent Physicians to Healing Societies
A Life-Grounded Framework for Medical Education, Distributed Accountability, and Planetary FlourishingBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length2h 19m
About this audiobook
What if competent medical care is necessary, but not sufficient for healing? From Competent Physicians to Healing Societies reframes healing as the restoration, regeneration, adaptation, or just transformation of the conditions and capacities that enable life to flourish. Drawing on salugenesis, salutogenesis, structural violence, collective competence, and planetary health, Bichara Sahely connects biological recovery with relationships, institutions, communities, governance, and ecosystems. This Listener’s Edition translates an original academic framework into accessible audio, showing how responsibility for healing can be matched to the actors with the authority and resources to act. A timely invitation to move beyond treating disease toward creating societies in which life can heal.
