It explores topics such as end-of-life communication, physician burnout, professional hierarchies within healthcare teams, and AI in healthcare. It also integrates examples that extend beyond a U.S. framework, accounting for how different healthcare and political systems impact patient care. Each chapter is written in plain language and invites readers to think critically about what true patient-centered care looks like today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is tailored to both undergraduate and graduate medical humanities, health communication, medical sociology, and bioethics courses and a broad audience of healthcare professionals—from nursing students to attending physicians, technicians, and support staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnline resources include links to readings, outside resources, and video components.
