How do you speak up when you think the surgeon is making a mistake? What does it mean to resist just to exist in medicine? Why should one steak up against social harm or injustice? In this conversation with Dr. Tasha Wyatt, we explore the idea of professional resistance - how learners can push back against hierarchy, hidden curriculum, and systemic injustice to protect their identity and integrity. Drawing on Wyatt’s influential work, including ‘Those Darn Kids’ and ‘I Have to Resist Simply to Exist’, we discuss how resistance can be both a burden and yet a powerful form of agency. From resistor identity formation to the risks of speaking up, this episode asks what it really means to be “professional” in environments where silence is often safer, yet detrimental.
