Becoming a Doctor:  A Journey of Initiation in Medical School
Melvin Konner, M.D.

Not sure what to expect during your required clinical rotations? While taking the reader on his "rounds," Dr. Konner candidly and eloquently portrays his hectic, life-changing third-year of medical school, when book knowledge meets face to face with the personalities of disease. He asks, "Does this experience adequately train doctors to address medicine's human side?" This thought-provoking book will help students to prepare for their clinical years and may cause practicing physicians to question the nature of their own training and their teaching methods.
