Covenant or Contract: The Practice of Medicine with Dr. Jennie McLaurin

See this SoundCloud audio in the original post

Today we spoke with alumna and pediatrics specialist Dr. Jennie McLaurin. The practice of medicine today poses all kinds of challenges: the pressure to prioritize efficiency, the tension between specialization and whole-person care, and the challenge to maintain a patient-centred approach. Can these problems be fixed? How does the understanding of medicine as a moral art-–not just a scientific one––impact patient care? And what does Christian theology contribute to our understanding of the doctor-patient relationship? Join us for this practical and important conversation about medicine today.
