DVET 709 - Medicine, Ministry, and Morals (3)

High on nearly every pastor’s list of things they wish they could avoid is a visit to the hospital. It is a hierarchical environment where they do not fit. The subject material is that in which they have no expertise. It is a place where “bad things” happen. This course deals with the intersections of medicine and ministry, particularly in those areas where moral issues arise. Its goal is to reduce the discomfort of medical encounters when involved in pastoral care. Prereq/Co-req: DVET 701.
