Our increased understanding of health and disease coupled with
major technologic advances has resulted in rapid and significant
changes in the practice of medicine. How we prepare physicians for
clinical practice 20, 30, or 40 years from now is of paramount
importance to medical educators, to the future professionals, and
to society at large. Implementing Biomedical Innovations into
Health, Education, and Practice delves into this important
question, discussing the effects of precision medicine,
bioinformatics, biologic and environmental forces, and societal
shifts on the physician's approach to diagnosis and therapy. The
author interviewed world-renowned physicians, medical educators,
healthcare leaders, and research professionals-their insights and
quotes are woven throughout the narrative. Professionally
illustrated, this relevant resource is a must-have for all medical
professionals who incorporate technology and biomedical innovations
in their research and clinical practice. It encourages thoughtful
analysis on adapting and developing the foundational knowledge,
skills, and aptitudes of future physicians and other healthcare
professionals, and it belongs in your library. "Having completed
deanship at one of America's leading medical schools, Jim
Woolliscroft produces an insightful, contemplative projection of
the likely skill and behavioral needs of the physician workforce
for the mid-21st century...The result is a playbook for physician
training that responds effectively to the daunting challenges faced
in the coming transformation of the role of physicians in
protecting the health of our nation." James L. Madara, MD, CEO,
American Medical Association "Dr. Woolliscroft's provocative new
book will become must reading for all who are serious about
educating the next generation of physicians and health care
leaders. Leveraging his own experience as a consummate educator and

uncertainties, challenges and disruptions to the practice of
medicine in the decades ahead. The implications and imperatives for
the coming generations of physicians are compelling and of critical
importance for care givers, policy makers, and most pointedly
educators in the U.S. and around the world." Gary S. Kaplan MD,
Chairman and CEO, Virginia Mason Health System "This ambitious
masterpiece, by one of the leading medical educators of our time,
fully captures the ongoing changes and disruptions in medicine
today, and how they will influence the care of patients and the
training of young physicians in the future." Eric Topol, MD,
