Storytelling is a valued tradition in medicine and an important component of professional mentorship. Each chapter of this book begins with a story based on an actual event to provide context and introduce the chapter’s theme. While these stories accurately reflect events as they occurred and their impact on becoming an intentional physician, names and recognizable details of many stories have been changed. I hope these stories and shared perspectives will inspire you to become more intentional in your career.

The suggested readings simply provide you an accessible introduction to each topic and are not intended to be a definitive list of references.
