Publisher's Summary

A groundbreaking approach to training doctors could transform the future of health care.

In this engrossing narrative, you'll meet seven extraordinary students who embarked on a new way to train doctors that attempts to regain what's been lost. These medical students follow patients instead of physicians, accompanying patients to primary care appointments, emergency room visits, and even surgical procedures, developing deep connections and understanding the intricate interplay between the health of our bodies and the health of our communities. They learn the textbook of a community in addition to the textbook of the body.

Through poignant stories of these seven students and the people they meet as patients, Dr. Abraham M. Nussbaum illustrates the power of becoming a doctor and the possibility of changing the way we train doctors. As the students acquire a wealth of knowledge about the human body, they also navigate immense challenges and responsibilities. Throughout the year, they go about their lives, find love, and start families, all while getting to know their patients and their lives.

Progress Notes follows the evolution of medical education and is a must-listen for premedical students, medical students, and medical professionals seeking insight into the changing landscape of their field as well as for listeners captivated by medical dramas and the pursuit of transformative care that benefits us all.

The book is published Johns Hopkins University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
