The Health Sciences Library hosts a helpful website entitled “Culture, Communication, and Ethics in Health Care” for anyone looking for links to information resources on these important topics. These links will guide you to patient, statistical, governmental, and local resources on topics such as medical ethics, moral distress, health literacy, country and cultural profiles, and health disparities.
Simply look for the icon above on the Library’s main web page to access these resources.
The Mindful Medical Student: a psychiatrist’s guide to staying who you are while becoming who you want to be - Dr. Jeremy Spiegel
Book description taken from the back cover: “Four years in medical school are not only demanding and competitive in a strictly academic sense, byt they may bring students face-to-face with perfectionism, anxiety, obsession, power plays, difficult patients, ethical dilemmas, identity crises, sleep deprivation, financial strain, and – perhaps for the first time in their lives – confrontations with disease, suffering, and death. The Mindful Medical Student will broaden readers’ perspectives and cultivate their ability to respond to the extreme emotional, psychological, and spiritutal challenges posed by medical school and, eventually, a medical career.”
This book can be found now on the New Book Table at the front of the Library. It will eventually reside in the Book Room under the call number: R 737/S65/2009.
You asked for it – we bought it!
We have added a new print book to the Reserve Book collection entitled: Pretest Family Medicine: PreTest Self-Assessment and Review by Doug Knutson. This latest addition provides one more title to our growing collection of self-assessment review tools.
This book can be found on the Reserve Book shelves under the call number: RC58/K58/2009.
The Library also owns additional titles in the PreTest series for specialties such as neuroscience, psychiatry, physical diagnosis, and emergency medicine.
You may have noticed a new door being installed in the Library along The Link corridor. This door will provide an additional emergency exit, and allow us to greatly expand the current 24-hour study space.
In the very near future, students will have access to what we call the “Book Room” that spans JPA in addition to all the current after hours space. You will continue to access the entire 24-Hour space through the one door with the ID card reader off The Link.
Stay tuned – I’ll let you know when the expansion is final!
