In \u003ci\u003eFeeling Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e, Kelly Underman gives us a look inside these gynecological teaching programs, showing how they embody the tension between scientific thought and human emotion in medical education. \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on interviews with medical students, faculty, and the people who use their own bodies to teach this exam, Underman offers the first in-depth examination of this essential, but seldom discussed, aspect of medical education. Through studying, teaching, and learning about the pelvic exam, she contrasts the technical and emotional dimensions of learning to be a physician. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eFeeling Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e explores what it means to be a good doctor in the twenty-first century, particularly in an era of corporatized healthcare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595443663128,"sku":"9781479897780","price":62.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/feeling-medicine-how-the-pelvic-exam-shapes-medical-training-hardback-9781479897780","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
