AB - A call forreform has occurred across medical disciplines to counteract the isolation andoveremphasis on cognitive competency that characterizes residency education.This article describes an experiment in creating an alternative residencyculture-one that encourages selfreflection, a sense of belonging, and positiveidentity-to support the resident in becoming a healer. Extensive qualitativemethodology from multiple data sources was used to evaluate this program. Wefound that the experiment has been successful in creating a sense of communitywithin residents and between residents and their classmates. Positive identityand self-reflection have also been enhanced. Obtaining full acceptance from allfaculty and staff, and allowing multiple community members to help create andmodify the culture building tools, has been critical. We conclude thatculturebuilding tools can enhance the development of the resident as healer byreducing isolation, encouraging self-reflection, and enhancing positiveidentity.
