Recenzje

This book, written by luminaries in medical education, provides educators with both the theoretical underpinnings and the practical application of an equal emphasis on understanding the persons that doctors treat as well as the problems (including but not exclusively diseases) that bring them to the attention of a medical professional. It is a refreshing approach that emphasizes what medicine should actually be about.
