Participants' experiences with grief, relief and opportunity resonate with Ratcliffe's account of grief as a process of relearning the world after a significant loss. The dismantling of prior life structures and possibilities incited in participants critical reflection on the nature of the medical education community's professional practices. Participants demonstrated their desire for more flexibility and autonomy in the workplace and a re-adjustment of the values and expectations inherent to their profession. On both individual and systems levels, the community must ensure that long-standing calls for wellness and work-life integration are realised-and persist-after the pandemic is over.
