Reconstructing Medical Practice - Christine Jorm

. .

Résumé :
Change in the medical profession carries with it disturbing features - established practitioners are no longer sure what to recommend to their trainees about how to think and act. In Reconstructing Medical Practice, Dr Jorm concludes that regulation, despite its recent proliferation, is a clumsy and limited tool to ensure good care. She offers original and much needed ideas for ways to improve the relationship between doctors and the system.
