WORKSHOP ABSTRACT:
In this workshop, we will explore the field of academic medicine through teaching and mentoring trainees about faith and spiritual care, opportunities to witness to colleagues and staff about our faith and approaching our patients with whole person care. We will also explore some challenges faced by Christians in academic medicine but why it can be a rewarding domestic medical mission field.
