Staying Human During Residency Training: How to Survive and Thrive after Medical School 5th Revised edition [Pehme köide]

"This lucidly written book offers practical advice on making the most of the residency experience." -- Ian W. Toal Canadian Book Review Annual "Through most of this century physicians have looked back on their internship and residency years as a painful but necessary maturation ritual. Once out of residency, they quickly forget, or at least deny, how much damage - depression, burn-out, marriage breakdown, alcoholism, and suicide - was wrought during the process. Allan Peterkin, a recent graduate of residency programs in family medicine and psychiatry, provides a useful guide for self-preservation and well-being. It should be required reading for all graduating medical students." -- Bruce P. Squires Canadian Medical Association Journal "Though Staying Human has a very large scope, with a target audience that ranges from medical students to senior residents, its practical advice is probably most helpful for medical students and interns, who spend the most hours in the hospital but may not have had the chance to develop their own tools for staying sane. It is also a useful reference, bringing together, in a concise form, a plethora of data that would be helpful on the medical floors, and offering guidance that is not so easily available elsewhere ... But even for those past their early days of training, for whom such information would just be review, the book is an important reminder: that humane treatment - of oneself and of fellow residents, as well as our patients - is what makes a good doctor, and that one cannot have empathy without good self-caretaking. That is a lesson we can all afford to review." -- Sonya Rasminsky C.I.R. (Committee of Interns and Residents) News 'Staying Human During Residency: How to survive and thrive After medical School, by Allan Peterkin, is the roadmap that attempts to ease transformation. It's filled with useful tips for first year medical students through chief residents.' -- Benjamin Lemelman The New Physician vol 61:05:2012
