Good Reads

[ERob]

Hey, does anyone have any suggestions for some good medical reads that may be helpful for interviews (i.e. good books on medical ethics, etc.). I would appreciate any advice.

Check out the Journal of Bioethics at www.bioethics.net. They have a lot of good articles and they are not hard to understand.

CrazyTerp, I took a look at the site that you mentioned in your post. It looked like an excellent site for ethics, thanks for the suggestion.

Others, any further info on pre-interview reads would be appreciated.

Recently there was a thread on books that are medically related. I'd dig it up for you but I'm on my way out the door. Try doing a search maybe. Good luck!

"The Lost Art of Healing" by Bernard Lown MD

Great book by a well known Harvard Physician/Professor. Goes into medical ethics from his perspective.....a really great book about what medicine is truely about.
