Virtual Grand Rounds: What patients can teach us about Religion and Spirituality today
Religion and spirituality in the U.S. have been shifting markedly, and physicians are treating patients of increasingly varying beliefs, about which doctors may have little understanding, posing critical challenges for medical education and practice. Despite some efforts to improve medical education on religion and spirituality, most doctors feel that their training in these areas is inadequate. This talk draws on conversations with providers and patients over several years in various clinical and research contexts, in which religious/spiritual issues have arisen, and suggests how patients and their families commonly utter to providers religious/spiritual comments or questions unexpectedly, directly or indirectly.
