Healthcare and Religion Lecture

Ekaterina N. Lomperis, PhD
Scott and Susan Orr Family Endowed Chair in Medical Humanities and Christian Faith
Associate Professor of Medical Humanities
Baylor University

Early modernity witnessed unprecedented reformations in both religious belief and medical knowledge. At the time of the rise of Protestantism and the Catholic reform movement, new approaches to studying human anatomy laid the groundwork for the emergence of evidence-based medicine. This talk will discuss transformations of religious perspectives on medicine and healing during this era of reform and explore their implications for current intersections of spirituality and healthcare.

Continuing medical education credit will be available for those in attendance.
