Abstract
This presentation explores courage in health care providers. Dr. Hamric describes a typology of courage that distinguishes between requisite and heroic courage. Arguing the need for a more nuanced understanding of this virtue, and through the lens of clinical examples, Dr. Hamric provides a spectrum of perspectives regarding courage in health care professionals.
