It considers the trajectories and factors that influence a doctors development over decades of a medical career.“Don’t read this book unless you are poised for transformationWhile providing a comprehensive review of decades of academic research and scholarship on adult learning, Becoming and Being a Physician gifts its reader with moments of instantaneous clarity.” - Rita Charon MD PhD

"Years ago, the book, Changing and Learning in the Lives of Physicians (Fox, Mazmanian & Putnam; Prager Press, 1989) offered a career path, and opened the door to profound reflection and redirection. It literally changed my life. Nearly four decades later, Becoming and Being a Physician offers the same gift - a masterful, inspiring and richly-referenced book, crafted from the personal journeys of three physician educators. Both emotionally moving and scientifically-based, this is a must-read for anyone interested in lifelong learning and professional development. It might change their lives, too." - Dave Davis MD
"I have been reading [the book] with great pleasure and respect! [The] developmental autobiography [of Shmuel Reis] was very moving and brought home the message of the book in a wonderfully personal way [while the] view and thoughts about a development through the lifecycle, including the senior professor role, is very important in understanding the continuity of the calling and the mission that doctoring at its best evokes and is very helpful to me, now. [This] chapter, and the whole book, emphasizes the importance of this emotional development." - Eric R. Marcus MD
