Abstract
There is no doubt that graduates entering the health professions in the second and third decades of the twenty-first century will face an environment that is different in a range of important ways from that which most of their teachers encountered at the same point in their own professional careers. It is vital that we, as health professional educators, help our students to develop the perspectives and skills that will enable them to thrive and develop further in this changed context.
