On the “Flip Side”: An Autoethnography Utilizing Professional Reflective Practice Skills to Navigate a Medical Experience as the Patient

This autoethnography explores perception of personal role flexibility within health care after a brain tumour diagnosis. The experience provided the possibility of challenging and redefining my role in health care. I draw upon past research,  professional capability guidelines, and my experiences as an academic, practitioner, and patient to stimulate debate about patient and practitioner roles and relationships. I also emphasize the importance of reflective practice, effective communication, and patient-centered care in the health ca re setting, with a goal of improving the experience of patients, practitioners, and academics.
