My gratitude runs deep and wide. I wish to start by thanking the Multnomah County Department of Community Justice (DCJ) Parole/Probation Officers and Junior Court Counselors (JCCs) who welcomed, learned from and with me and who ultimately made major positive changes for the system in which they serve. Thank you Keith Murphy, Brie Murphy, Silvia Gomez, Dennis Moore, Erik Zilz, Kate Desmond, Erika Preuitt, and the research and planning team at Multnomah County DCJ in Portland, Oregon.

Ive had the privilege of working with some of the best human beings at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). John Hunter, thank you for encouraging me to write and helping me make important connections. Charles Thomas, I appreciate the time you spent editing many of my publications and inspiring me to just write. To the Psychiatry Department at OHSUthank you for your provision. To every OHSU medical student Ive had the honor to teach and learn fromthank you.

To my family, sisters, brothers, mother, grandmother, uncles, and auntsthank you for your unwavering love.

To every teacher, professor, community member, and mentor that touched my life and saw greatness in me (you know who you are)thank you.

Finally, a big thank you to Audrey Tran! Audrey is the illustrator for this textbook and is currently a second year medical student at OHSU. Audrey is known for advocating for health policy and employing music and writing as tools to optimize patient communication. She is a leader. I am honored to share this moment with her and look forward to a continued partnership.

Audrey A. Tran is a second year medical student at the Oregon Health and Science University School of Medicine.

She received her B.A. at Wellesley College, magna cum laude, in Biochemistry with a minor in Music. In college, her passion for exploring the sciences was coupled with a passion in sharing what she had learned through formal peer tutoring. She spent two years post-grad continuing stem cell and genome editing research in Boston, MA, where she worked along with brilliant scientific minds. It was in Boston where she learned about the importance of advocacy at the intersection of science, racial justice, and womens rights.

In medical school, her interest in medical education led to a style of tutoring that incorporates intuitive, illustrative, and color-coded study guides. This style is observed, appreciated, and thoughtfully integrated throughout this textbook. To stay creative, she is in a medical school rock band, writes music, and can likely be found harmonizing to popular songs.
