With Head, Heart and Hands, Make a Medical Professional

This book represents more than four years of collaboration through
fieldwork, generation of ideas, shared writing, and mutual critique. Its
product is thus a massive effort as Prof. Richard Cruess and Prof. Sylvia
Cruess, the authors of Teaching Medical Professionalism, had pointed out,
and for this I owe them so much. The team, however, had much by way of
assistance, and I am gratefully acknowledging the many people who have
contributed to the book. First among them are the students, residents,
faculty members, and Prof. J. M. Muscat-Baron (the clinical dean of
Dubai Medical College). I have profited a great deal from their comments
and questions, and this has shaped the book in all sorts of ways.
