Description

Product Description The emotional and social components of teaching medical students to be good doctorsThe pelvic exam is considered a fundamental procedure for medical students to learn; it is also often the one of the first times where medical students are required to touch a real human being in a professional manner. In Feeling Medicine, Kelly Underman gives us a look inside these gynecological teaching programs, showing how they embody the tension between scientific thought and human emotion in medical education. Drawing on interviews with medical students, faculty, and the people who use their own bodies to teach this exam, Underman offers the first in-depth examination of this essential, but seldom discussed, aspect of medical education. Through studying, teaching, and learning about the pelvic exam, she contrasts the technical and emotional dimensions of learning to be a physician. Ultimately, Feeling Medicine explores what it means to be a good doctor in the twenty-first century, particularly in an era of corporatized healthcare. Review Feeling Medicine brings its readers into the world of gynecological teaching assistants and medical education with care and theoretical depth. The prose is smooth, the content rich, and the substantive contribution a needed addition to scholarship on gender, bodies, and medicine.--Laura Mamo, Author of Queering Reproduction Feeling Medicine has the potential to carry forward the original GTA programs' mission, to provide a feminist education to medical students about the pelvic exam, which is particularly important as medicine becomes further corporatized.-- "Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine" Using the pelvic exam as a prism on medical education, Kelly Underman deftly analyzes how bodies and affect come together in the making of physicians. An excellent contribution to research on gender and medicine!--Rene Almeling, author of Sex Cells: The Medical Market for Eggs and Sperm About the Author Kelly Underman is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Drexel University.
