This collection of essays provides educators in medicine and the health sciences an illuminating and challenging introduction to professionalism.

Written by leading scholars and thinkers in the area of professionalism in medicine, contributors provide a well-rounded analysis of this important topic. Although the intended audience is primarily physicians, medical students and residents, the book is a suitable primer for pre-professional health care students as well.
