Healing in a Changing America (Doctoring in a Nation of Needless Suffering) is a reflection by George Rust, M.D., on decades in primary care, health research, and leadership at majority-minority institutions.

From building trust and amplifying underrepresented voices to advancing structural change in medical education and practice, Rust shares both mistakes and successes to equip readers with tools for meaningful impact. The book emphasizes the power of humility, listening, and learning, and it offers guidance for those seeking to be true allies in the pursuit of justice and equity.

The book publishes on November 12 and is available now for pre-order from Johns Hopkins University Press.
