President William R. Brody regularly tackles tough issues in medical education, patient safety and the ever-increasing cost of health care in columns he writes for Change, a newsletter for faculty and senior staff. He doesn't pull his punches, whether talking about physicians, or lawyers, or insurers, or educators — and he's not afraid of thinking outside the box.

Three dozen of these provocative columns have been collected as Crossroads Volume III: Essays on Health Care in Modern America. In the columns, Brody talks candidly and with humor about issues ranging from infection rates to insurance premiums. As he puts it, "These columns offer a good look at our thoughts, deeds and dreams as we try to make medicine more effective, and more accessible, for all."
