| Review: | This is the first book to provide guidance to those designing and implementing programmes to teach professionalism to medical students and postgraduates in the developed world. It sets out the cognitive base of professionalism, gives a theoretical basis for teaching the topic, and provides general principles for establishing programmes at a number of levels: undergraduate, postgraduate, continuing professional development. The Canadian authors also describe the experiences of institutions that have established such programmes. The Appendix lists teaching aids that have proved to be successful. |
