Abstract: Issue: The learning environment (LE) is known to be the main determinant of physician distress, yet most wellness interventions continue to focus on the learner. Additionally, few wellness interventions that focus on the LE have derived from well-established theory. These limitations represent major barriers in our progress toward improving the LE and supporting medical learner wellness in an evidence-based, humanistic, and scalable way. Evidence: To remedy the situation, I highlight a cross-section of promising experimental research in self-determination theory (SDT) and its potential applications in medical education. Implications: I propose that we incorporate SDT-based faculty development workshops to improve leaders' awareness and motivating style with learners. These interventions are known to improve the LE and thus learners' engagement, performance, and wellness. SDT-trained personnel would be needed to train medical faculty, including about the reciprocal benefits of being autonomy-supportive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
