The Behavioral Sciences and Health Care |
This book is designed for medical students and trainees. It presents succinct information about the wide variety of behavioral, social, and psychological sciences that comprise the behavioral sciences relevant to health and wellness. Brain and behavior, culture and ethnicity, complementary medicine, clinical decision-making, and psychopathology are featured sections. Each chapter begins with guidance questions and ends with current recommended readings and review questions. A complete 300+ question-and-answer USMLE-type review section not only allows readers and students to check how well they have learned the material, but also highlights important points and adds additional specific information to supplement the text.
The authors of this text are experienced teachers and researchers drawn primarily from the membership of the Association for the Behavioral Sciences and Medical Education. A companion “Instructor ’s Manual” is available online to provide creative ideas for teaching that capitalize on experiential learning.
