Despite varying AHs experience levels, interns consistently appreciated AHs instruction. These findings extend a prior conceptual model to a graduate medical education population by highlighting AHs instruction's potential for reclaiming interns' senses of self, building community, and surfacing empathy. Future curricula can leverage this ability to create meaningful connections with one's purpose, peers, and patients to maximize the potential of AHs instruction for graduate medical education learners.
