Fellows, Fumbles, and Flourishing: My PL Reflection
This final unit on Professional Learning has been both challenging and illuminating. Designing a comprehensive professional learning (PL) plan pushed me to think deeply about what it truly means to foster growth, engagement, and competence among adult learners—particularly within the context of our Hematology/Oncology fellowship. One of the main challenges was balancing the ambitious scope of meaningful PL with the practical realities of clinical schedules, research responsibilities, and varying levels of prior experience among fellows. It made me confront how easy it is to create professional development that is “busy” without being truly impactful.
