"Word and Body: Explorations in Healthcare" will explore issues at the intersection of faith and medicine for Christian clinicians and patients alike. Engaging resources from medical scholarship to the Bible, we will discuss topics that include health, suffering, disability, justice, and death. This course will aim to equip students with important questions to guide them either in a healthcare career or in an experience as a patient (or caregiver for a patient). The course is named “Word and Body” because students will explore the landscape at the intersection of the written words of scholars on the human body and the Word breathed out by God about and to his Body, the Church. The course will address several topics in this domain.
