Work As God Intended Part 1 (Dan Reilly) by CMDA Canada

This workshop from Crandall University Sociology Professor Dr. Adam Stewart takes on the challenges and impacts of the dehumanization of individuals. As Christian medical and dental professionals, what should our response be to the objectification and subjectification of our patients? Dr. Stewart will help attendees understand the dangers of dehumanization and acknowledge the importance of seeing each patient as a creation of God, whose value resides in God’s love for them, not outside human categories.

Dr David Levy joins us to share his insights on how we handle persecution.

Dr Lauris Kaldjian’s presentation from our 2018 CMDA Canada National Conference focuses on the impact of moral pluralism on the practice of medicine and the particular impacts of pluralism in our approach to controversial procedures like euthanasia and on our view of conscience. Dr. Kaldjian challenges us to consider how we can be salt and light in this context. Dr. Lauris Kaldjian is Director of the Program in Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, where he is professor in the Department of Internal Medicine and holds the Richard M. Caplan Chair in Biomedical Ethics and Medical Humanities.

His research interests have been directed toward end of life decision making, goals of care, disclosure of medical errors, ethics education, philosophical and religious beliefs in clinical decision making, and the integration of personal beliefs and professional ethics in clinical practice.

Dr. David Levy joins us today to discuss burnout and resilience. Burnout is on the rise in healthcare and in many other fields. Being able to understand the causes, symptoms and treatment of burnout are essential to solving this problem. Dr Levy is a neurosurgeon who practiced high-risk neurosurgery for more than 20 years, specialized in surgery of the blood vessels of the brain. Dr. Levy attended Medical School at Emory University in Atlanta, and he obtained Neurosurgical Training at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona under Dr. Robert Spetzler, a pioneer in vascular neurosurgery. After completing a Fellowship at the University of Vienna (Austria), Dr. Levy was one of the first neurosurgeons in the United States to be double specialized in endovascular neurosurgery, performing minimally- invasive surgery on brain vessels without opening the head, entering through the femoral artery in the patient’s leg. Dr. Levy has performed neurosurgery in Paris (France), India, Kenya and Congo and has also spoken in the USA and internationally on topics of neurosurgery, neuroscience and faith. He was one of the keynote speakers for our 2022 CMDA Canada National Conference.
