Feeling the way to knowledge: The education of attention and family medicine

Abstract

This text attempts to show, through various ethnographic situations, the learning process of a family practitioner in the specific context of the daily routine of a residency in family and community medicine. This requires a trajectory that will bring out the specific characteristics of this practice as a complement to the biomedical training residents get during their undergraduate course. My argument is based on two key concepts: Karin Knorr Cetina’s epistemic culture and Tim Ingold’s education of attention.

Keywords
anthropology; education of attention; epistemic culture; medical training
