Physician-scientists are unusual creatures. While we are drawn
to the clinical challenges of our patients, we are also drawn to
the opportunities that our patients medical problems bring to
science. This book contains the unique experiences and encounters
that drew 20 accomplished physician-scientists to this profession.
These personal stories are those of people and circumstances that
have had profound effects on our career decisions, our creative
opportunities, and our lives. These stories also serve to highlight
the lessons learned along the way and the distinct attributes of
these women and men of medicine and science. Our combined hope is
that our collective biographies will enhance the public
understanding of our profession, will move people from medicine to
science and from science to medicine, and will inspire those who
are contemplating this extraordinary profession.
" It is a rare gift to benefit from the collective wisdom of so
many individuals at the same time. These physician scientists have
provided readers with helpful advice and thoughtful encouragement.
The interesting and thought provoking essays in Medicine Science
and Dreams can be read and digested one at a time or all at once in
sequence. They provide lessons to be learned by any
physician-scientist, whether just starting out or in the middle of
a research career. Schwartz has done readers a great service and
has added to the legacy of these prominent and successful
physician-scientists. " Book review in JAMA, September 7, 2011 Vol
