See all formats and editions
Learning medical professionalism is a challenging, evolving, and life-long endeavor. Professionalism in Medicine: A Case-Based Guide for Medical Students helps begin this process by engaging students and their teachers in reflection on cases that resonate with the experiences of life in medicine. Through the book's seventy-two cases, commentaries, videos, and literature-based reviews, students explore the many challenging areas of medical professionalism. Readers will appreciate the provocative professionalism dilemmas encountered by students from the pre-clinical years and clinical rotations and by physicians of various specialities. Each case is followed by two commentaries by writers who are involved in health care decisions related to that case, and who represent a wide variety of perspectives. Authors represent 46 medical schools and other institutions and include physicians, medical students, medical ethicists, lawyers, psychologists, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, health care administrators, and patient advocates.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Current medical education-in which integrity is easily professed yet rarely examined and empathy withers across the arc of medical training-is contrasted with the possibility of training physicians to be trustworthy stewards for patients and the public. Directed to medical students and their educators for progressive development across all medical school years, this ambitious resource supports this nearly unimaginable transformation with scholarly analysis while remaining accessible to professional and lay audiences interested in medical education, professionalism, and health care reform." - JAMA (2011), Y.S. Bradshaw, DO, MS, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, USA

Professionlism in Medicine, by Spandorfer, Pohl, Rattner, and Nasca, arrived on time and in good condition. A brief overview of the text suggests that I will be able to apply the material to student and resident teaching. In particular, I intend to use the text and numerous case stories to help learners sharpen their sensitivity to the ethical dimensions of every-day patient care and their ethical reasoning skills.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not about diagnosis and treatment
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2009
Verified Purchase
This book will not hone your skills in diagnosis and treatment.The cases presented deal with ethics such as reporting impaired physicians,revealing a cancer dignosis to a patient despite family reluctance,telling a patient about errors during medical or surgical procedures,treating members of your own family,influence of drug reps,how aggresively to treat terminal cases,etc.The dicussions of each case cover at least several pages and often are very generalized and tedious.This would have been an interesting book if it were 200 pages or less,but at 464 pages the discussions drag too much.I don't think medical students would appreciate the book's content until they have had a lot of patient interaction(and the time because there is a lot of slow thought provoking reading).

I got the following message for my last review:

" After carefully reviewing your submission, your review could not be posted to the website."

Please tell me why since reading the long list of your posted rules is not helpful. Please tell me which rule I did not follow and what you want a customer to hide on the review. Thank you.

The product was delivered very quickly and the product was in excellent condition as described by the sender. I would use this sender again in the future. The content of the book is good using cases with expert opinions to provide another viewpoint and provides many useful references.

医学生向きのプロフェッショナリズムの教科書のようである。日本では医学部でプロフェッショナリズムの教育が皆無であるところが多いので、卒後臨床研修においても役立ちそうである。マイケル・サンデルばりにディスカッションするにも良い参考書になるだろう。
