Staying Human during Residency Training: How to Survive and Thrive after Medical School, Sixth Edition

"Staying Human during Residency Training is an important reminder: that humane treatment – of oneself and fellow residents, as well as our patients – is what makes a good doctor, and that one cannot have empathy without good self-caretaking. That is a lesson we can all afford to review."

Sonya Rasminsky, CIR News

"Peterkin has created a wonderful reference for all of us."

"This guide should be required reading for each intern beginning residency and also for each and every residency program director in North America."

Aliye Runyan, Medical Education Team Chair, American Medical Student Association, and Sonia Lazreg, AMSA/Committee of Interns and Residents Health Justice Fellow

"An excellent resource for residents at any stage in their training."

The Canadian Association of Internes and Residents

"This catalog of indispensable advice can help residents at all stages of training. Read it today, and pass it on!"

Wayne M. Sotile, PhD, author of 'Letting Go of What's Holding You Back!' and 'The Resilient Physician'

"Chock-full of all kinds of information that is pertinent, if not essential, to residents, including innumerable survival tips and suggestions. Dr Peterkin offers a penetrating and far-ranging, yet humane, perspective and has not lost sight of the "person within", in contrast to attitudes common in academic medical centres of today. This book will go a long way toward alleviating much of the worry and demoralization among contemporary residents, as well as their partners or spouses. A copy should be stuffed into the pocket of every resident physician."

Michael Myers, MD, author of 'Doctors' Marriages: A Look at Problems and Their Solutions' and co-author, 'The Handbook of Physician Health (AMA)'
