Conference On Medicine and Religion : Re-Enchanting Medicine

Friday, March 24, 2017, 8AM | JW Marriott Galleria,

2017 marks the centennial of Max Weber’s lecture, “Science as Vocation,” and this year’s Conference on Medicine and Religion (CMR) considers Weber’s thesis with respect to contemporary health care. What it would look like for re-enrichment today? How can practitioners, patients and religious communities break through the intellectualization, rationalization and disenchantment in an era of evidence-based medicine, quality metrics, and electronic medical records?

 
Join others in Houston where health care practitioners, scholars, religious leaders, and students will consider these questions in light of different religious traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism.

 

Early Registration is now open through February 24, 2017
