Dear Stephen,

Though I have great interest in Spirituality, I am currently very busy with
other areas, i.e., Integrative Med/CAM.

Thus, I am aksing to pls be removed from the 'Grp on Spirituality' list serve
at this time.

However, in response to you call for ideas, here are a few:

One idea, that seems quite natural to me, is to have our two STFM grps collab on
something~ many, if not all of the core values & philosophies of Spirituality
are integral to the practice of Integrative/Holistic/Complementary &
Alternative Medicine, I believe.

With regards to core competencies, the Consortium of Academic Health Ctrs for
Integratie Medicine (CAHIM) education working grp/cmt published a paper on
competiencies for Integrative Medicine, in Academic Medicine, June 2004. Here
is a link to the paper for those that would like to look it over:
http://www.academicmedicine.org/cgi/content/abstract/79/6/521

Also, another idea would be to explore the concept of 'Optimal Healing
Environments' (OHEs) as defined/described by the Samueli Institute
(www.samueliinstitute.org). I really like how they have put together various
concepts re: healing.

Hope this may help & be some food for thought.

All the best,
Mary

Subject: [STFM-Spirituality] Core Competencies




As we prepare to meet as a group in New Orleans, the Spirituality Group
would like to hear from you!

Specifically, we would like to get a list from all interested parties of
Core Competencies that people believe should be the focus of Medicine
and Spirituality curriculi at either the medical school or residency
level.

Please post your ideas on the listserve!

If you are coming to NO bring a copy with you.
Also, if you would like to bring samples of any curriculi you are
involved with...outlines, handouts, whatever, we will be looking at this
issue during out time together.

Thanks much
