Are you familiar with reflective zombies? They follow every reflection step. They write the reports. They check the boxes. But nothing real happens. In this episode, we talk to Dr. Anne de la Croix, Assistant Professor at Amsterdam UMC and humanities expert, about how reflection in medical education has lost its soul. We unpack the concept of skillification - the reduction of rich, complex human qualities like reflection and empathy into simplistic, assessable behaviours. And we ask what true reflection could look like if we dared to leave space for discomfort, uncertainty when at an impasse (aporia), and real honest learning. Join us for this powerful plea for letting humans show themselves. For real. And maybe, just maybe… avoiding the next zombie apocalypse.
