Philadelphia Chapter <br/> <br/>Authors: Drexel University: Archives and Special Collections <br/> <br/>Abstract: The Philadelphia Chapter of the Special Libraries Association was founded in 1919 as a local library organization, the Special Libraries Council of Philadelphia and Vicinity, to promote the collection, organization, and dissemination of information to executives, research directors, and employees of industrial firms. In 1933 the Council affiliated with the Special Libraries Association, an international professional association for librarians and information professionals working in non-traditional library settings. The collection consists of publications issued by the chapter as well as bylaws, minutes, reports, and other administrative records dating from its founding. <br/> <br/>Description: Description / According to the records of the chapter's archives committee, the collection was kept from the founding of the chapter until the 1980s at the Free Library of Philadelphia. It was moved to Friends Hospital in 1984. Records indicate that the collection was weeded extensively over time in accordance with the national association's records retention policy. http://idea.library.drexel.edu/handle/1860/3502 Title: Bohdan T.

Multiple explanations for the decline have been set forth in the literature such as the stressful medical curriculum, transmission of attitudes from upper level residents, and the displaced professional identity of students. I analyze the empathetic decline through the lens of a third year medical student in order to demonstrate how the challenges of developing a professional identity contribute to the empathetic loss. The decline correlates to a pursuit of self-advancement in a professional sense. I propose that in the end, this decline exists as a logical outcome from the professional expectations that medical students, faculty, and institutions place on graduating seniors. Shifting an understanding of the self away from the purely Western to a more traditionally Eastern view can help reduce the decline. http://idea.library.drexel.edu/handle/1860/3331 Title: Loss of empathy in medical school understood from the Buddhist concept of non-self <br/> <br/>Authors: Ostermayer, Daniel G. <br/> <br/>Abstract: As students progress through medical school the level of empathy they entered with declines during the four years of education. Although no specific aspect of the medical curriculum has been shown to directly decrease empathy, the decline raises concern for adequate patient centered medical education. Such a loss can then lead to an erosion of ethical behavior and patient care. Although there are multiple theories regarding causes for the decline in empathy, I propose that the loss of empathy in medical school correlates with the search for a professional identity and is best understood from the perspective of Buddhist psychological theory. <br/> <br/>Description: This paper was written for the Drexel University Medical Humanities Scholars Program under research mentorship from Steven Rosenzweig MD. http://idea.library.drexel.edu/handle/1860/1313 Title: Special Edition - Drexel Med Monitor: Monday, March 19, 2007
