Book Review: The Vanishing Physician-Scientist?, Andrew I. Schafer (ed).

Daniel Matson, University of Virginia School of Medicine


The Vanishing Physician-Scientist?, edited by Dr. Andrew Schafer, is a must-read for any student currently working their way through a joint MD/PhD degree program and for those educators currently involved in mentoring a student interested in this challenging career.  The book is a collection of essays organized into chapters and written by knowledgeable experts who capably detail a great range of pertinent topics.  Dr. Schafer starts the piece off with an introduction and a well-written chronicle detailing the rise of clinician researchers throughout history.  This section frames the current physician-scientist with a rarely-appreciated historical perspective and gives the reader a good foundation with which to approach the rest of the book.
