    Ways of being—Readiness for the generalist way
    • Open stance (receptive to diverse perspectives and co-created knowledge)

    • Humility

    • Connection via key relationships

    Ways of knowing—Training for the generalist way
    • Broad knowledge (of self, others, systems, the natural world and their interconnectedness)

    • Grounding (in specific knowledge and experience)

    Ways of perceiving—Seeing the world in ways that foster integration
    • Scanning and prioritizing, then focusing on the highest priority

    • Focusing on the particulars while keeping the whole in view

    Ways of thinking and doing—Prioritized, joined-up action
    • Engaging with the most important parts in context

    • Doing multiple low-level tasks to enable higher-level integrative action over time

    • Connecting

    • Iterating (between breadth/depth, subjective/objective, parts/whole, action/reflection)

    • Loving (putting another and a larger good before self)

    • Adapted from Stange KC. The generalist approach. Ann Fam Med 2009;7:198–203.5
