'We wanted to inspire other educators to live their dreams by following in the footsteps of a group of leaders in health professional education. By helping the authors tell their stories, we wanted the readers to experience their deep commitment - actually, it was more like a deep conviction - to realizing their vision of ways to improve health professional education and the learning environments. We asked these education leaders to write 'their stories' and lace their professional journeys with stories from those whom they have influenced along the way. In the end, our goal was to have a collection of librettos that would inspire readers to say, 'I can do that!'' From the Preface.
