Medicine, as a profession, holds certain obligations. The qualities of empathy, knowledge, generosity, respect, and scholarship form a family of values that were personified by the Ancients in the family of Asklepios and serve as the foundation of professional values today. Furthermore, a significant portion of professional growth should stem from reflection based on the experience of caring for real patients, an understanding of the human condition.

Within this exquisitely crafted book, each essay showcases the significance of expertise, skill, focus, mindfulness, and collaboration, all of which are essential components of professionalism in medicine, particularly in the field of anesthesiology. Anesthesiologists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and Anesthesia Assistants will find immense value in this text to enhance their professional understanding. The principles, values, and traits of professionalism apply to all medical specialties, and these essays offer a lyrical understanding of the qualities required for professional development.
