The Professional Development Dictionary and Guide is a reference resource that provides formal definitions and practical guidelines for more than 200 terms used by health and health-related professionals.

After more than 30 years in health care, Nathaniel Wesley, Jr., realized that many terms used in educational courses, counseling sessions, and consultations were not fully understood by many students and even some professionals. Accurate knowledge of terminology is vitally important for critical thinking and teamwork, especially within health fields.

The book also introduces the "ABC" concept that was formulated during the past decade by Wesley, a health services executive and instructor at several universities. Students along with entry level and experienced professionals in many health programs, agencies, and organizations are using this important learning concept for personal and professional development.
