Meaning and Purpose in Medicine: Spirituality and Medicine: Historical and Empirical Perspectives

Chicago, IL US
May 5, 2022
Meaning and Purpose in Medicine (MPM) aims to address the need to maintain a sense of meaning in the face of health care pressures that can cause moral distress. It does so by providing a forum where physicians can share experiences and collectively reflect on the moral and professional challenges they face in day to day practice. Invited speakers give short presentations that highlight the conditions and situations that give rise to moral distress or ethical uncertainty, discuss these and related cases with participants, and share strategies for resolving, mitigating, or circumventing the challenges posed. Through group discussion and engagement with speakers, participants will be encouraged to share perspectives on navigating morally complex situations, reflect on past successes and failures, and work through strategies to better navigate or cope with the challenges ahead.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for University of Chicago clinicians and other healthcare professionals interested in improving patient connectedness.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Outline how spirituality has interfaced with the practice of medicine through history of western biomedicine.
  • Illustrate the implications of the current divide between spirituality and the practice of medicine on patients, clinical caregivers, and health care institutions
  • Consider steps in reintegrating spirituality into the practice of medicine, to uphold patient and clinician well-being, meaning and purpose.
