At the Interface of Culture and Medicine

In this groundbreaking contribution to the emerging field of medical culture, twenty-five professionals in various fields of medicine have contributed thirteen papers on topics ranging from the perception of skills of graduates of foreign medical programs to conflicting expectations of patient care to differing methodologies used by professionals from various cultures. Medical educators, practitioners, sociologists, and policy makers will find that this book makes a significant foray into and underexplored sector of research.
