“Religious competence is a critical part of cultural competence, and one that is underrepresented in medical training. The Medical Manual is an invaluable resource for our students, residents, attending physicians including subspecialists, nurses and all of those involved with patient care. It is an important tool to help us continue to provide excellent patient care and truly comprehensive family centered care.”

Michael Gewitz, MD
Physician-in-Chief/Executive Director
Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center

“The Manual is a remarkable resource for the practicing physician and for physicians-in-training. It is eminently readable, comprehensive, and, best of all, an absolutely practical tool. Every physician in today's global community should have this book in their office. It will improve patient satisfaction, their own professional satisfaction, and enhance their practice of medicine.”

“The patients I encounter in New York come from the most diverse religious and cultural backgrounds…The Medical Manual provides a practical guide of medically pertinent religious beliefs and practices that enhances my ability to have comfortable conversations about even the most complex medical issues. The information and communication skills contained in the manual will certainly become an indispensable tool for providing the best care to patients and their families. I also believe that the principles taught in the manual should become part of the medical education of physicians and other health care providers.”
