Greetings
Just to let you know, John Saulz, MD, Chair of
Family Medicine at Oregon = HealthScienceUniversity and I have finally finished out book on = Healthcare and Spirituality. I invite you
all to take a look at it on = Amazon.com.
It was published in England by Radcliffe Medical Press,
and is on its way = to US warehouses now. Hope you find it
useful.
Also, GWISH will soon be sending information about
its latest round of = curricular awards. As a past award winner
for both predoc and graduate I = encourage you to look into this program. It
is amazing how open administra= tions can be when there is a little money
attached.
There are some changes to the program you may find
intriguing.
I would encourage any of you, if you run across
resources you find useful, = to post them on the listserve. Also let us
know of events you think = people might find of interest.
Finally, I'd like to end with a question that I
would appreciate thoughts = around. We are finding, Ithink a resurgence
of religious fundamentalism. = Has this impacted efforts to develop curricular
elements? Does this = affect the intergration of healthcare and
spirituality?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
