Abstract

Between 2010 and 2011, a group of resident physicians at Lehigh Valley Health Network Family Medicine Residency undertook training in autoethnographic methods and completed research narratives related to personally challenging clinical encounters. The autoethnography project proved to be an effective and rewarding process through which the residents and faculty involved could reflect upon the meaning of their experiences and convey their insights to others through public presentation. This article (a) frames physician autoethnography within the existing paradigm of narrative and medicine, (b) reflects upon the function of values in medical education, and (c) articulates the particular role that autoethnography played in the identification and development of values for the participants in this project. A case is made for the utility of autoethnography as a method of clinical research that can reveal the role of values in the education of medical residents and in the care of patients.
