At the interface of culture and medicine

Waugh, Earle H., 1936- (Added Author). Szafran, Olga, 1957- (Added Author). Crutcher, Rodney A., 1950- (Added Author).

Summary: "In this groundbreaking contribution to the field of culture and medicine, twenty-five professionals in medicine, nursing, and the social sciences have contributed fourteen papers on the influence of culture in health care. The topics range from the perception of skills of international medical graduates, to conflicting expectations of patient care of various cultural groups, to cultural issues at the end of life. Health care educators, practitioners, sociologists, policy makers, and learners at all levels will find this book makes a significant foray into an underexplored sector of research."--pub. desc.
