Last month I posted on the Web Page that the Wyoming Medical Center
and the University of Wyoming Family Practice Program at Casper were
sponsoring a conference on Ethics and the Humanities. This
conference
will be held in Casper, Wyoming from October 11th-13th. Our featured
speakers are Gregg VandeKieft and Lu Marchand (both STFM members).

The first day of the conference will be devoted to the Humanities.
The second day will be devoted to Clinical Ethics. The third day
will
be devoted to Spirituality in the Clinical setting. I think that
there is a lot of interesting things going on at this conference.
These authors will do readings of their published works. There will
be a Readers Theater on the evening of the 11th. We will discuss
what
is happening with Spirituality in Michigan. We will review the RISEN
program on Spirituality that is being implemented in Wisconsin.

I have not received any e-mail from STFM members interested in
Spirituality. Are people really using this Web Page? I would
appreciate some feed back and dialogue from STFM members. Is there
interest in teaching Spirituality to resident physicians? Would STFM
members be interested in attending a conference on this subject?
