The context of the clinical encounter, and more generally of the practice of medicine, has effects on physicians. For example, it shapes their opinions, discourses, and ultimately their behaviors. The context may also directly impact physicians, sometimes affecting their physical and mental health. Numerous interventions, provided within and outside the institution, are targeting these effects. The question we raise in this article is: should physicians adapt to, or should they rather situate themselves within, their context. This question leads us to discuss reflexivity and reflexivity training.
