This forum will feature speakers both for and against the integration of religion with the practice of medicine. It represents an easy avenue to find out more about objections to integration: such as limited time, doctors not properly trained for it, it is unethical given the power dynamic, and much more. The forum will also equip you with evidence for integration: from empirical studies to ethical arguments. What an opportunity to dig deeper into this important issue and have the chance to engage with those who may have differing views.
