"What is the missing link in today's medical care delivery?
Medical school training has historically relied on the biological sciences, and their application, for diagnosis and treatment, with technology an adjunct to care. Although many major medical schools now incorporate ""doctoring"" into their curriculum, traditional medical training lacked an emphasis on the psycho-social aspects of the doctor-patient relationship.

As medicine hurtles forward in the age of technology and corporate healthcare, the chasm between medicine and human connection continues to grow. Doctors are led away from the bedside into a computerized world. This distancing threatens the essence of compassionate care.

In a mesmerizing exploration of the solution, Jay H. Kleiman, M.D., recounts the profound career moments that define the doctor-patient partnership, illuminating the path toward preventing physician burnout. Art of the Heart is a masterpiece that uses patient stories to showcase an accomplished career and remind us that high-touch care remains an irreplaceable cornerstone for a therapeutic relationship and healing.

Step into the world of medicine's beating heart and rediscover the spiritual connection that elevates doctors into healers called to serve."

"Jay H. Kleiman, MD, is a retired interventional cardiologist with over thirty-five years of clinical, biomedical research, and management experience. He was a pre-medical and medical student at the University of Michigan and medical intern at the University of Chicago. He fulfilled his military service obligation as a research associate at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He was an Internal Medicine resident at Georgetown University and a subspeciality Cardiology Fellow at Stanford University.More than twenty years later, Dr. Kleiman's love of clinical research led him to serve as medical director for large cardiac drug development clinical trials. One trial led to the successful introduction of a new medication.Dr. Kleiman is board certified in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. He is a fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP) and American College of Cardiology (FACC). He earned a master's degree in Public Administration (MPA) from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He has been an active advocate for patients and physicians over his career. As a practicing clinical cardiologist at a large university affiliated community teaching hospital, Dr Kleiman was among the first to introduce the ground-breaking technique of cardiac and leg balloon angioplasty and stenting in Chicago. Dr. Kleiman lives in Chicago with his wife, Georgi, a retired critical care nurse. Michael Attas, MDiv, MD, didn't choose medicine so much as it chose him. He was a football player and Psychology student at Baylor University when he applied for a summer job at Baylor College of Medicine. At the time, the college was looking for a student to research the cause of mysterious ""mumps"" appearing on patients following open heart surgery, and Attas was looking for a way out of a construction job that was planned for that summer. He had no background or interest in medicine, but because no one else applied, he got the job.Not only did Attas discover the cause of the temporary condition; his findings were published in a national medical journal that fall. It was the start of a prominent and fulfilling career in medicine for Dr. Attas.Board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine with a subspecialty in cardiovascular disease, Dr. Attas practiced for forty years.Alongside his career in medicine, Dr. Attas earned a Master of Divinity. In 1999, Dr. Attas combined his passions for medicine and divinity to found and direct the Medical Humanities program at Baylor University, which offers a bachelor of arts for undergraduate pre-medical students. It is designed to foster an understanding of the spiritual, ethical, economic, and literary aspects of health care. The program was the first of its kind in the nation, and it continues to pave the way for other universities."
