Healthcare Fellowship Forum

Is there a Way of Medicine for Christians?

Please join us for a conversation with Dr. Farr Curlin, physician-ethicist, co-director of the Theology, Medicine, & Culture Initiative at Duke Divinity School, and “twice-baptized” Tarheel alum! What does it look like to practice medicine Christianly? The answer is not always obvious, but it may look quite different than what many Christians imagine. In this session, we’ll dig deep to consider what Hippocrates, science, compassion, and justice have to do with Christian practices of hospitality toward those who are sick and injured. We’ll look for a way of medicine that reflects the Christian story and the hope we share.

This event is open to all UNC students and practitioners in health-related fields. It is co-sponsored by the Theology, Medicine, & Cultural Initiative at Duke Divinity School (TMC) and the Triangle Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA).

About the Healthcare Fellowship Forum

The North Carolina Study Center is partnering with Triangle Christian Medical and Dental Associations and the Theology, Medicine, and Culture Initiative at Duke Divinity School to host a series of informal gatherings for Christians in health-related fields at UNC. Through mini-lectures, panels, and table conversations, these gatherings provide opportunities to learn and think with colleagues about how to live out vocations to health care with clarity, wisdom, and courage.
