"And I fear that something crucial is lost if we regard discomfort as an unequivocally negative experience, if we fail as teachers to separate humility from humiliation."

This essay was published in the Teaching and Learning Moments column in the June 2019 issue of Academic Medicine. Read the essay at academicmedicine.org.
