Shea Shawn Christopher - The Medication Interest Model

Advance Praise for The Medication Interest Model: How to Talk with Patients About Their Medications, 2nd Edition

Dr. Sheas book on the Medication Interest Model (MIM) is such a necessary and crucial tool in the care of our patients. We may be skilled in the cardiovascular exam, or the pulmonary exam, or we may be superb in the comprehensive neurology or mental health exam, but without techniques like those found in the MIM, these honed skills become almost meaningless. Every clinician must read this book. It should be required reading for all medical students, nursing students, physician assistants, and social workers. The provider-patient relationship has not had such an advance since Sir William Osler.

Critical Acclaim from the First Edition

In the following pages, you are in for a treat. You are about to enter the very soul of what we do, and you could not find a better guide... destined to fill a giant void in the training of all medical and nursing students, as well as becoming a classic read for experienced clinicians in search of the art of medicine. My advice is simple read it.

From the Foreword to the 1st Edition

C. Everett Koop, MD, ScD

Former Surgeon General of the United States (19811989)

As an endocrinologist I can safely say that the secret to treating diabetes lies within the pages of this book, for the secret of successfully treating diabetes as well as all other serious diseases lies in improving medication adherence. No book provides better answers to this vexing problem. Laced with humor and compassion it is a fun book, a rare clinical gem, highly recommended for all generalists, specialists, nurses, case managers, and medical, nursing, and clinical pharmacy students. I read it carefully twice.

George F. Cahill, Jr., MD

Professor of Medicine, Emeritus, Harvard Medical School

Past President, American Diabetes Association

A bright and refreshing writing style, packed with unusually insightful interviewing tips. Medication issues are central, complex, and controversial in the era of evidence-based medicine and shared decision-making; and Dr. Sheas book is simply the best resource available on communicating with people about their medications.

Robert E. Drake, MD, PhD

Andrew Thomson Professor of Psychiatry

Dartmouth Medical Schools

A valuable book for even the most experienced clinician from primary care to endocrinology. Dr. Shea brings rich insights to a topic (what words we choose as we introduce medications and address their side-effects), that is seldom discussed in training. He reminds us that our words are as important a part of the pharmacopoeia as the medications themselves.

John F. Steiner, MD, MPH

Director of the Colorado Health Outcomes Program

Professor of Medicine, Preventive Medicine and Biometrics

University of Colorado

Shawn Shea, a rare Lincolnesque physician, wrassles to the ground the tough problem of improving medication adherence... written with gimlet-eyed clarity and eloquence this book is a boon for any clinician.

Mack Lipkin, MD

Founding President of the American Academy on Physician and Patient

Professor of Medicine

NYU Medical Center

An outstanding contribution to our clinical literature immensely practical filled with interviewing tips for improving medication adherence for every clinician.... Students and well-seasoned clinicians alike will benefit from the perceptive observations and wise advice that fills this book.
