Abstract

The increasing numbers of WP learners in medical education has been accompanied by an increased challenge for providing support for these learners. Reframing the support of the diversity of WP learners to a more holistic focus on enhancing flourishing is essential for supporting each individual to achieve their own psycho-social and academic potential. The capability approach can offer a useful theoretical and practical lens for understanding each WP learner in medical education and for informing holistic support for enhancing flourishing and potential.
