Description

Join Drs. Farr Curlin and Cathie Scarbrough to enjoy a taste of CMDA’s Faith Rx video series. Moderated by the program’s director, Dr. Bill Griffin, this webinar will inspire and equip you to address your patient’s spiritual needs with confidence and intentionality.

The mission of Faith Prescriptions is to equip Christian healthcare professionals to communicate the love of Christ, in word and in deed, to our patients, students and colleagues. What does this look like each day as we practice? How does the love of Christ motivate us to do our very best for our patients? How can we encourage our patients to confide in us regarding their spiritual needs? How do we verbally communicate the power of the Gospel with sensitivity and respect? Many doctors from across the country will be sharing what the Lord has taught them regarding these and many other pertinent topics.
