The foundational knowledge and practical actions you need to effectively address your patients' emotions-and manage your own emotionsMedical schools acknowledge that emotional well-being and clinical outcomes are connected, but the research that should inform emotion management is scattered. Emotion in the Clinical Encounter brings together theory and research on this important topic. In addition, to revealing how emotion processing affects clinician wellness, it links clinician response to patients' affective cues to care outcomes-making this book unique among health provider "burnout books."Emotion in the Clinical Encounter builds your understanding of the science of emotion and delivers practical insights for recognizing, acknowledging, and responding to patients' emotions, as well as your own. It provides in-depth coverage of the evolutionary and social function of emotion, the role of emotion in illness, the culture of medicine and its relationship to emotional management, and the neuroscience of emotion as it pertains to clinical medicine.
This groundbreaking new guide helps you logically associate and link symptoms to likely diagnoses/conditions-a critical skill for passing the USMLE Step 1 Despite the recent changes to the USMLE Step 1, it remains a very important exam for medical students. In order to navigate the vignette-based questions, students must be able to determine a diagnosis based on the vignette, then understand the science behind the diagnosis-a process called pattern recognition. This innovative guide will help you master pattern recognition-a crucial skill to develop in order to thrive throughout the medical school curriculum. Organized by symptom to reflect exactly what you'll see on test day, First Aid Clinical Pattern Recognition for the USMLE Step 1 provides overviews for more than 50 symptoms, discussing differential diagnosis and the principles that should inform your thinking about each symptom. Overviews are followed by Step 1-style vignettes for every potential diagnosis that may be included in the Step 1 exam. Then, each vignette is followed by the diagnosis-and competing diagnoses-along with explanations of why the patterns fit for the correct diagnosis. Guiding principles provide important information (such as which diagnoses are common, which are rare, which are acute, which are chronic, etc.) to enhance the way you think about each symptom. Each vignette contains classic history/physical exam and lab/test findings that would be observed in a typical presentation of the disease.

A practical guide to address race in the workplace For too long, the workplace has outsourced the uncomfortable work of addressing systemic racism to the police, politicians, talk show hosts, celebrities, red carpet sound bites and "reality" TV. It's time for change. The workplace is the perfect place to constructively address race because it's where hundreds of thousands of people gather daily to pursue a shared purpose. And it's often the first or only place people interact with others from a different race or cultural background. Regardless of our hierarchical position within an organization, we each can take a stand. Systemic racism can only be addressed with systemic change.But you can't solve what you can't talk about. Talking about race in the workplace has been taboo for so long. That's why organizations must ready their environments-at both the individual and enterprise levels-before diving headfirst. The inner work of raising our own awareness and creating new ways of thinking and being, and the outer work organizations must perform to develop and implement strategies, initiatives, policies and practices to reimagine a racially equitable workplace are journeys, not programs. The Business of Race is a practical guide for business leaders and employees alike who are struggling with both how to talk about race and what to do about it. The book offers concrete ways businesses large and small can make positive, sustainable changes to bring more racial diversity, inclusion and equity to the workplace. Readers will learn more than a half-dozen tools that bring an asset view of race, rather than a deficit view, such as SOAR and growth mindset. Readers will also learn to reach for familiar tools they use nearly every day, such as strategic planning and project management, to implement other priorities and apply them to the deeply complex, emotional and intimidating dynamic of race in the workplace. But don't confuse accessibility with ease. This is hard work. Woven throughout are interviews from more than two dozen business professionals across diverse industries, fields, and organizational levels. Their stories are not meant to be formulaic. Rather, they bring voice to the challenges and opportunities businesses face everyday and give the reader the courage they need to embark on or continue their own race journey.
Power your business culture with strong workplace relationships-and watch productivity and profitability soar For years, companies have been implementing programs that promote social responsibility and improve employee health, both of which benefit the financial bottom line. Now it's time to focus on positive social interactions and relationships in the workplace. Why? Research shows that authentic, trust-based relationships increase job satisfaction, engagement, productivity, and retention-and even decreased healthcare costs. In Work Better Together, two experts from Deloitte explain how working remotely, over-relying on digital communication, and always being "on" is fast-increasing feelings of isolation and burnout-and how a work culture driven by quality relationships can reverse these trends. The authors show how to cultivate positive relationships by:Focusing on self-care, such as physical health, quality sleep, and taking time offTapping into human skills, such as empathy, authenticity, and communicationUsing technology with intentionality to strengthen relationships, while breaking the negative habits technology fostersManaging workplace relationships, whether you're in the office every day or telecommuting-or something in betweenDeveloping a culture of strong relationships that drive quality collaboration throughout the organizationWork Better Together walks you through the process of implementing change and fueling a much-needed corporate movement towards humanity in the workplace. Based on the authors' 40+ combined years of experience, it helps you meet today's employees' most urgent needs, while benefitting your organization in real and measurable ways.
