Discover the essential people skills you didn’t learn in medical school
As a physician, you’ve devoted years of your life to training. From classrooms and textbooks to residency and beyond, you’ve honed your clinical expertise and technical abilities. But these skill sets are only half of the equation to achieving excellence. What is the other half? Emotional intelligence.
In Extraordinary Doctor, top neurosurgeon Nimesh H. Patel explores the importance of emotional intelligence in physicians and how it is pivotal to succeeding in the field. Drawing on his decades of experience along with extensive conversations with colleagues and other professionals, Dr. Patel takes you beyond medical school and into the real world of medicine—where pleasant bedside manner can only get you so far, and dynamic human connections are critical in every situation.
By focusing on communication skills, self-awareness, and empathy, Dr. Patel brings an understanding to the fundamental skills every doctor needs to build relationships, earn trust, and connect positively with patients, families, coworkers, and administration. With his incisive insights, Dr. Patel will convince you why your people skills need to be as scalpel-sharp as your clinical ones. And when you apply his teachings, you’ll upskill from an MD to an extraordinary doctor.
“In Extraordinary Doctor: How Emotional Intelligence Drives a Physician’s Success, neurosurgeon Nimesh H. Patel pushes the boundaries of bedside manner and doctoral training. While this is important as a baseline, Patel adds a key additional element to the mixture that leads to positive leadership and effective workplace activity: emotional intelligence.”Â
