With Head, Heart and Hands, Make a Medical Professional

This book represents more than four years of collaboration throughfieldwork, generation of ideas, shared writing, and mutual critique. Itsproduct is thus a massive effort as Prof. Richard Cruess and Prof. SylviaCruess, the authors of Teaching Medical Professionalism, had pointed out,and for this I owe them so much. The team, however, had much by way ofassistance, and I am gratefully acknowledging the many people who havecontributed to the book. First among them are the students, residents,faculty members, and Prof. J. M. Muscat-Baron (the clinical dean ofDubai Medical College). I have profited a great deal from their commentsand questions, and this has shaped the book in all sorts of ways.
