In this well-organized, insightful, and practical book, Jeannette Guerrasio, MD, generously shares her experience working with underperforming medical learners. Weaving real life examples of struggling learners with genuine faculty reactions, the author creates guidelines for identifying these learners, diagnosing their specific difficulties, and remediating their deficiencies. The experts agree that Remediation of the Struggling Medical Learner will benefit those who teach at all levels of medical training, from students through attending physicians.

A companion volume to Remediation of the Struggling Medical Learner, 2nd Ed., this book provides detailed examples of medical faculty helping students and residents to overcome obstacles. Based on Dr. Guerrasio's highly regarded framework for diagnosing difficulties and improving learning, Remediation Case Studies presents 24 real-life cases. Contributors were asked to describe the students and residents who needed remediation and the strategies they used to help these learners. Dr. Guerrasio requested that instructors share what worked/what didn't work and, in hindsight, what might have worked better. By adding her own insightful comments about each case, Dr. Guerrasio has created a valuable resource for both new and experienced remediators.

We often hear about the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry - from extortionate pricing to the opioid epidemic. But there's another story to be told.

Through the story of eight revolutionary treatments, Dr William Pao cuts to the innovative heart of medical science and celebrates the tireless work of those fighting for better care. Behind each of these medicines - whether a potentially life-saving new treatment for cancer, or something as commonplace as paracetamol - there stands a cast of characters and a wealth of stories.

The trajectory from the laboratory to the local chemist is rarely a straight line. Eureka moments are few are far between. Drug hunting demands leaps of imagination and lateral thinking, the accumulation of the knowledge and expertise of many, and - nearly always - a hefty dollop of luck.

Breakthrough documents these journeys and grants a privileged look at the stories behind the medicines that improve - and very often save - our lives.

Since the turn of the millennium, competency-based education (CBE) has become a new standard for training in the health professions in many countries. Early work to operationalize CBE has included development of detailed frameworks of competencies that every physician should demonstrate. However, these models were criticized because of a lack of connection with the everyday work in health care, and with what it means to be a health professional. For that reason, the concept of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) was introduced in 2005, to supply the missing link between competency frameworks, and the practice of healthcare. EPAs are units of professional practice that may be entrusted to trainees once they show the competencies needed to execute them without supervision. EPAs constitute a holistic concept, requiring a coherent integration of various competencies. EPAs have become popular within competency-based programs in many countries, with numerous examples not only in medicine but in all health professions, including nursing, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, dentistry, and others.

This book provides an overview of key foundational concepts related to EPAs. Beginning with a historical overview, the first chapter provides a definition and rationale for EPAs. While competencies are qualities of individuals, EPAs are units of work. The two can be seen as dimensions of a matrix. Almost all activities in health care draw upon multiple, integrated competencies (communication and collaboration skill, professional behavior, content expertise, etc.). Next, entrustment decision-making as an approach to assessment is explained, as well as the associated framework of levels of supervision, ranging from 'allowed to observe' to 'ready to be a supervisor.' The chapter concludes with a summary of important considerations for building an EPA program.

The book has 24 chapters and is organized in five sections, regarding theoretical backgrounds, definitions and elaborations of entrustable professional activities, implications for curriculum development, implications for assessment, and implications for implementation of the management of curricular change and faculty development.

Fifty authors from all continents have contributed to chapters in the book. All authors are active scholars in health professional education and have experiences with the use, development or research of entrustable professional activities and entrustment decision-making.

This book is intended to be an easy-to-use resource to help health care professionals improve their approach when teaching people to manage chronic disease. It is evident in the industry that many believe they merely have to tell a patient what to do and it will be done. This book will give nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and other health care professionals an insight into the expanded role of teaching and helping people make behaviour changes in the face of chronic illness.

About the Author

Anne Belton has been a nurse for over 50 years. About 30 years ago, she started teaching people with chronic illnesses how to manage their diseases. She soon realized that simply telling people what to do did not necessarily result in behaviour change or better outcomes. Eventually, Anne directed her expertise and love for teaching to her current role of teaching other health professionals. Anne continues to teach and consult both nationally and internationally, always with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of people living with chronic disease.

Troubleshooting the Mind is a guide to help everyone understand the basic principles of a phenomenon called the Kelee(R). The roots of the Kelee date back three thousand years in ancient Sanskrit. Its definition means, having to do with different states of mind or point hunter. The word Kelee is also in Greek and Hebrew and translates as vessel or receptacle.

This vessel--your Kelee--is a place where you can take bad things out and put good things in. Everyone has felt, at one time or another, emotion--good and bad--well up from within their Kelee. This book will give you practical ways to understand your conscious awareness and how your thoughts influence the direction of your life. You will learn where your troubling thoughts reside and how to dissipate them with a practice that takes about five minutes, twice a day.

In this book you will discover the groundbreaking difference between your brain and your mind and how differently they operate. If you would like to explore the deepest reaches of your mind and open to the true power of your thoughts, understanding the basic principles of your Kelee is the place to start.

• More than 100 key topics in physiology, using bold, clear drawings based on classic artwork by Frank Netter, MD and other master scientific and medical illustrators.

• Coloring exercises that emphasize pathways, processes, and cycles for a visual memory aid.

• Quick-reference tables and Pathophysiology Notes that bridge basic science with health care and medicine.

• Workbook review questions and drawing challenges to reinforce comprehension and retention.

• Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook includes completed coloring and workbook pages for reference and allows you to access all of the text and figures, from the book on a variety of devices.

This remarkable compilation includes patient stories as told through the eyes of pre-medical students, medical students, and some faculty tasked with truly understanding those who are seeking medical care. The sites of these interactions vary from small town clinics to a locked hospital psychiatry unit and afforded a rare unhurried interview where the patient could just respond to What do your doctors need to know about you to take good care of you? and simply Tell me about your life and What's next for you?

Using a 55- word piece or a longer essay, the writers worked to determine the meaning of each story. Perhaps equally important, they considered how just serving as witness to the telling moved them along their path to being the physician they aspire to become. The works span the time before, during and after the COVID pandemic. The writers considered the fear of medical workers for their own safety, the anxiety obvious on the masked faces of the patients, and how the doctor-patient relationship was forced to adapt. Political divisions about masking and vaccination crept into the exam room, and the students occasionally expressed feelings of separateness from those patients at the far ends of that spectrum.



No reader can leave this experience without a visceral connection to the depths of human misery or a renewed appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit, although not always expressed in conventional ways. This book is good reading for anyone interested in the richness of daily human life.

A groundbreaking approach to training doctors could transform the future of health care.

For decades, physicians have been trained on the textbook of the body, from the corpse in a cadaver lab to the patient in a procedure suite. This type of training usually leads them to specialize in specific organs or systems and breeds an increasingly impersonal view of medicine in which the importance of person-to-person care--the hallmark of a good relationship between doctors and patients--has been lost.

In this engrossing narrative, you'll meet seven extraordinary students who embarked on a new way to train doctors that attempts to regain what's been lost. These medical students follow patients instead of physicians, accompanying patients to primary care appointments, emergency room visits, and even surgical procedures, developing deep connections and understanding the intricate interplay between the health of our bodies and the health of our communities. They learn the textbook of a community in addition to the textbook of the body.

Through poignant stories of these seven students and the people they meet as patients, Dr. Abraham M. Nussbaum illustrates the power of becoming a doctor and the possibility of changing the way we train doctors. As the students acquire a wealth of knowledge about the human body, they also navigate immense challenges and responsibilities. Throughout the year, they go about their lives, find love, and start families, all while getting to know their patients and their lives. Progress Notes follows the evolution of medical education and is a must-read for premedical students, medical students, and medical professionals seeking insight into the changing landscape of their field as well as for readers captivated by medical dramas and the pursuit of transformative care that benefits us all.

Being a physician is an amazing privilege, and it can be a deeply rewarding career...but first you have to get through medical school. Students, who were often at the top of their class prior to medical school, now find themselves surrounded by equally bright, hardworking, overachieving classmates and facing new challenges from rigorous curricula to specialty selection to navigation of unchartered territories of mentorship, clinical rotations, and research. Thriving in medical school requires more than smarts--it requires new learning strategies, organization, time management, teamwork skills, mentorship, adaptability, resilience, and more.

This book brings together advice from medical educators, practicing physicians, and current medical students to help new medical students not just survive medical school but handle the transition with grace and position them to succeed and thrive.
