Editorial Reviews

For the new-to-the-profession student or resident, the book serves as a preview and road map to anticipated experiences and emotions. For the seasoned provider, the narratives undoubtedly will trigger memories of similar personal and professional experiences. … If storytelling encourages educators to bring the humanity into the teaching of medicine, does it not also remind us of our own humanity and inherent vulnerabilities? Connections in the Clinic succeeds in both.” (Franklin Berkey, Family Medicine, Vol. 55 (4), 2023)
