Life-Grounding CanMEDS
Reorienting Medical Competence within Canada's Unfinished Synthesis of Peace, Health, and the Civil CommonsBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length1h 12m
About this audiobook
Life-Grounding CanMEDS asks a question that competency frameworks rarely make explicit: what should medical competence ultimately serve? Drawing together CanMEDS, primary health care, Medicare, peacebuilding, health promotion, Life-Value Onto-Axiology, systems thinking, and the civil commons, Bichara Sahely proposes a life-ground lens for professional formation and public institutions. The central argument is that Canada has repeatedly widened its commitments to health, peace, equity, and social responsibility while leaving many operating structures too narrow to realize them. The Listener’s Edition explores how medicine can help protect, restore, and enlarge life-capacity without weakening clinical expertise, rights, Indigenous jurisdiction, pluralism, or professional boundaries — and why life-grounded physicians ultimately require life-coherent institutions.
