The aim of this unique text is to serve as a valuable resource and self-study guide for practitioners and trainees in the health disciplines covering the core competency areas of professionalism, ethics and cultural sensitivity. The book will first provide a substantive foundation of knowledge in the principles, scholarship, policy guidelines and decision-making strategies of the modern health professions. Second, the book will assist practitioners and trainees to prepare for the complex issues that arise each day in the settings where health professionals work and train clinics, research centers, educational contexts, and communities. Third, the book will help readers prepare for high stakes professional examinations that include ethics, professionalism and cultural sensitivity as core competency requirements. Such examinations include the National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Examination, the National Certified Addiction Counselor Examination and the United States Medical Licensure Examination.§§This book will be the first of its kind to be published for diverse health disciplines. (With colleagues, I completed a similar book focusing specifically on ethics and professionalism in the mental health professions in 2008, and it has been met with success both in terms of sales and its adoption in key clinical training programs.) This proposed text will have two main sections. The first section will carefully overview major ethics, professionalism and cultural sensitivity topics, including relevant principles and guidelines from diverse health disciplines (medicine, nursing, dental, psychology, social work and related fields). The first section will also describe state-of-the-art decision-making strategies for resolving ethical dilemmas and for addressing culturally important issues encountered by health professionals in their everyday work. Illustrations in which the decision-making approaches are applied to real-world examples will also be included in the initial section.§§The second section will have a Q & A format, based on actual situations in clinical, research, educational and community settings. This section will be composed of questions followed by answer choices, the correct answer, a brief explanation, and anchoring, peer-reviewed resources. Roughly 250-300 questions with narrative answers in this section will be followed by a review post-test of 50 questions, with an answer key and an index guiding the reader to relevant informational areas of the book.§§The tone of the book will be straightforward and nonjudgmental. It will affirm traditional values in the health professions and emphasize well-accepted professionalism, ethics and cultural sensitivity issues such as professional duties, research integrity, informed consent, confidentiality, therapeutic boundaries, cultural awareness, shared decision-making and patient-centered care principles. It will provide decision-making approaches that have been published and established as best practices. Please note that the book will not advance political perspectives or controversial practices.§§This book will address a suite of topics that are typically neglected or receive insufficient attention in the training of health professionals but are required competencies. Indeed, every major examination for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, dentists and members of other health disciplines in this country now includes some kind of assessment of knowledge pertaining to professionalism, ethics and cultural sensitivity, yet no text of this kind has been developed as a resource.§§No similar book exists in all of academic medicine to assist faculty with their distinct professional development issues. This is of grave concern because of the erosion of the academic medicine workforce, especially physicians and physician-scientists. It is the author s hope that this book will help readers to envision and create successful careers in academic medicine while ma
