Honorable Mention, Sociology of the Body and Embodiment Best Publication Award, given by the Body and Embodiment Section of the American Sociological Association The emotional and social components of teaching medical students to be good doctors The 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.

Posted as the new director of IIM Kozhikode, Sujata Das knew she was entering a hornet’s nest. She has to fend with criminal elements with links to the drug mafia and other equally unsavoury organizations. But she imposes strict rules of conduct right from the start, not appreciated by faculty members and students who are used to taking unwarranted liberties as self-proclaimed geniuses. She has favourites, a girl student with a tragic past, and a dashing young professor who turns out to be gay. But questions go begging though she has her sources of information: is there widespread covert drug abuse on campus? Is there a paedophile lair nearby with links to some members of the institute? A failed suicide attempt forces her hand, and she opts for a decisive surgical strike of sorts against the forces posing a danger to the IIMK campus and the tranquil countryside itself.

Bringing together a distinguished interdisciplinary team of contributors, this volume provides a comprehensive exploration of translational toxicology—a systematic approach to developing therapeutic interventions that can protect against, mitigate, or reverse the effects of exposures. In particular, the book addresses modes of action and biomarkers, developmental risks of exposures, and potential translational toxicology therapeutics. The result is a compelling application of developmental toxicology in a new therapeutic discipline that is destined to become part of standard medical practice. Translational Toxicology: Defining a New Therapeutic Discipline is an essential text for regulatory authorities, scientists, and physicians who are concerned with environmental exposures, public health, nutrition, and pharmaceutical research and development. Basic science, epidemiological, and clinical investigators will also find this book a significant resource.
