Is changing the curriculum enough to change education? And what happens when people start acting not because they’re required to, but because they’ve come to believe in the idea themselves?
A conversation about how change actually happens in medical institutions – and why the transformation of education begins not with new courses or structures, but with a shift in mindset, behavior, and everyday practice. We talk about why people resist not change itself, but the way it is imposed, how to create conditions for intrinsic motivation, and why a sense of shared ownership matters more than formal top-down directives.
We discuss the role of teams and “change champions,” the significance of small, practical steps that help launch large-scale transformations without excessive resistance, and approaches to working with fear, overwhelm, and professional burnout. We highlight the pivotal moment when change stops being “someone else’s” and becomes part of the culture – through shared decisions, new habits, educational policies, and curricula.
