The sex and minority race/ethnicity problems still exist, despite
efforts at seeking diversity. Accordingly, this book should be
reviewed by program chiefs as a criticism of the old methods and a
stimulus for continued change. * The Journal Of The American
Medical Association *
Getting Cut is a significant addition to the literature on medical
training. * Contemporary Sociology *
...one value of this book is that the perspective of an outsider
like O'Connell can lead those of us who are involved in the
training of residents to necessary introspection...the book's key
concepts...appear valid and relevant, and O'Connell provides
sociological insights into the culture of residency that could help
program directors and faculty adjust to the inevitable changes that
will continue to occur in medicine in general and in surgery in
particular. -- Edwin A. Deitch, M.D., University of Medicine and
Dentistry of New Jersey * The New England Journal Of Medicine *
