SUMMARY:"From Ancient Wisdom to Person-Centered Care": Historical\, Philosophical\, and Theological Foundations of Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Apply here\nAnselm House & Lumen Christi Institute present: \n“From Ancient Wisdom to Person-Centered Care”: Historical\, Philosophical\, and Theological Foundations of Healthcare”\nAugust 4-August 8\, 2026 \nAt a time when many learners in the health sciences feel stretched thin\, morally conflicted\, or uncertain about who they are becoming\, we have created a space for the hungry and the weary to slow down\, ask deeper questions about the professions they are entering\, and deepen their moral and spiritual perspectives as they seek purpose in the healing arts. \nFrom Ancient Wisdom to Person-Centered Care is a 4.5-day immersive experience for graduate-level health sciences learners—especially medical and nursing students—who want time and space to reflect on the deeper meaning of medicine\, faith\, and vocation amid the realities of modern healthcare. \nDuring the first 2.5 days\, participants will gather around shared meals\, interactive lectures\, seminar-style discussions\, and unhurried conversations with faculty to explore foundational texts from the Judeo-Christian tradition and its philosophical partners. Readings range from ancient Greek and Hebrew sources through figures such as Galen\, Hildegard of Bingen\, and Maimonides. Together\, we will wrestle with enduring questions that continue to shape clinical practice today: What does it mean to care for the whole person? What is the clinician–patient relationship really for? How do calling\, character\, and conscience matter in healthcare? These questions will be explored in conversation with ancient wisdom and carried forward into contemporary contexts. \nAs the seminar unfolds\, learners will also be introduced to modern philosophical and theological accounts of personhood\, attending carefully to how the promise and pressure of contemporary medicine—especially where efficiency\, technology\, and institutional demands collide with deeply held values—can be navigated with integrity and hope. \nThe experience culminates in a day-and-a-half symposium with the noted physician and philosopher Daniel P. Sulmasy. His work on spirituality in healthcare will enliven participants’ imaginations as they engage him in an intimate setting with one of the leading voices at the intersection of medicine\, ethics\, and faith. \nHosted at the University of Minnesota\, the program also includes time to explore local art and culture\, participate in worship at congregations or parishes of one’s choosing\, and build community with peers who seek to become clinicians formed not only by competence\, but by wisdom. \nIf you are a graduate-level health sciences student who has ever wondered: \n\nWhat is medicine and healthcare ultimately for?\nHow can I live my faith and values with integrity in healthcare?\nHow do I navigate moral conflict\, burnout\, or disillusionment as a clinician in training?\nWho am I becoming through this work—and who do I hope to be?\n\n—this experience may be for you. \nThe seminar will be led by Professors Jon C. Tilburt\, M.D. (Mayo Clinic)\, Evan Beacom (University of Minnesota Twin Cities) & Daniel Sulmasy (Georgetown University) \nLOCATION AND FORMAT\nThis is a fully in-person experience; no virtual option is available. Attendance for the full program is required.
