Medicine Without Meds
"Digital therapeutics (DTx) is a dynamic, emerging subcategory within the larger supercategory field of 'digital health' or 'digital medicine'. As defined by the nonprofit trade group, Digital Therapeutics Alliance, "DTx deliver clinical-grade therapeutic interventions to patients [that] may be used independently or in tandem with in-person or remote clinician-delivered therapy to optimize patient outcomes." In this new book, three expert editors have enlisted the support of contributors to explain what DTx represents (and how it differs from other digital health solutions), how DTX solutions can help individuals and their healthcare providers meet their health goals, and how DTx tools can be conceptualized, created, and brought to market"--

A Medical Teacher's Manual for Success
Although most medical school faculty members are required to teach, the standard medical school curriculum doesn't tell them how to do it well. This book does.

Here she shares classroom-tested methods for developing, implementing, and evaluating effective curricula for medical students. Shields's five steps emphasize • extensive behind-the-scenes preparation, with a focus on visualizing both one's own performance and the desired student feedback • clear and logical presentations that match the material being taught • controlled exploration of t...

Probability Without Equations
An award-winning teacher gives a non-technical explanation of the probability and statistics needed by physicians to interpret laboratory results. Although few physicians, nurses, dentists, and other health professionals perform laboratory tests themselves, they all need to be able to interpret the results as well as understand findings reported in the medical literature. A general understanding of probability and statistics is essential for those needing to make daily decisions about the significance of research data, drug interaction precautions, or a patient's positive laboratory test for a rare disease. Written with these needs in mind, Probability without Equations offers a thorough exp...

Additional chapters address curriculum maintenance, enhancement, and dissemination. The six-step approach outlined here has evolved over the past twenty years, during...
Personalized Psychiatry
This book integrates the concepts of big data analytics into mental health practice and research. Mental disorders represent a public health challenge of staggering proportions. According to the most recent Global Burden of Disease study, psychiatric disorders constitute the leading cause of years lost to disability. The high morbidity and mortality related to these conditions are proportional to the potential for overall health gains if mental disorders can be more effectively diagnosed and treated. In order to fill these gaps, analysis in science, industry, and government seeks to use big data for a variety of problems, including clinical outcomes and diagnosis in psychiatry. Multiple ment...
Drug Dealer, MD
The disturbing connection between well-meaning physicians and the prescription drug epidemic. Three out of four people addicted to heroin probably started on a prescription opioid, according to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the United States alone, 16,000 people die each year as a result of prescription opioid overdose. But perhaps the most frightening aspect of the prescription drug epidemic is that it’s built on well-meaning doctors treating patients with real problems. In Drug Dealer, MD, Dr. Anna Lembke uncovers the unseen forces driving opioid addiction nationwide. Combining case studies from her own practice with vital statistics drawn from public...

Social Issues in Diagnosis
Understanding the social process of diagnosis is critical to improving doctor-patient relationships and health outcomes. Diagnosis, the classification tool of medicine, serves an important social role. It confers social status on those who diagnose, and it impacts the social status of those diagnosed. Studying diagnosis from a sociological perspective offers clinicians and students a rich and sometimes provocative view of medicine and the cultures in which it is practiced. Social Issues in Diagnosis describes how diagnostic labels and the process of diagnosis are anchored in groups and structures as much as they are in the interactions between patient and doctor. The sociological perspective...
