Plenary SessionsRedeeming Rest: the Central Role of Sabbath Keeping in the Christian Spiritual Life … Even for Doctors and Dentists!By Reverend Mark BuchananIn these three plenary sessions, Reverend Buchanan will explore Why Busyness is Not Fruitfulness; Why Doing Nothing Allows Us To Do More; and How to Keep the Sabbath Wholly and Holy.

Sunday Morning AddressThe Family Under Attack: How, Why and What We Need To Do To Protect It By Reverend Joe BootThis address will speak to the central role of the family unit as a foundation of health and happiness for the physician, and will review how and why this foundation has been eroded in our society in recent times.

Celebration BanquetWhy We Need Missions As Much As Missions Need UsBy Dr Cathy OlsonJoin us as Dr. Olson relates challenging life and mission experiences, and shares with us how she found her short-term mission home in Tactic, Guatemala.

WorkshopsA. The Christian Foundation Of Science: A Medical History You

Won’t Learn In Medical School By Reverend Joe Boot Participants will be challenged to reclaim their priestly role of the

physician and consider practical ways in which they can do so in keeping with the Great Commission.

B. Sabbath Keeping – Even When You’re On Call By Dan Reilly, MD Participants will explore strategies for incorporating times of

physical, emotional and spiritual rest into the busy life of a physician or dentist who is frequently on call.

C. Countering Euthanasia In A Secular Workplace By Margaret Cottle, MD This workshop will provide basic outlines for discussing euthanasia

and assisted suicide in both Christian and secular settings. Participants will be invited to share their own expertise and experience in approaching these subjects.

D. The Critical Need For Sleep: For The Health Of Body, Mind And Soul By Joe Askin, MD This workshop will look at sleep as it relates to the physical and

E. Taking Medicine Downton To Where The Need Is By Nancy Craig, MD and Linda Der, MD Participants will examine the pro’s and con’s of inner city medicine

and will explore the similarities and differences between inner city and other family medicine. Biblical versus secular viewpoints of poverty, addiction, and related issues will also be discussed.

F. Family Sabbath In A Too-Busy World By Christin Hilbert Hardock, MD and Mr. Dan Hardock There are factors in our society we can’t modify easily which put our

families at risk. Participants in this workshop will brainstorm about ways to balance our lives and strengthen the family both within and against outside forces.

G. Choosing Better Things By John Patrick, MD This workshop will explore how we have arrived at our harassed

lifestyles and take a look at the data on the consequences of this lifestyle. Participants will then examine the function of Sabbath in each of our lives and will be encouraged to be intentional about starting and nourishing some real habits of the heart.

H. Lack Of Professionalism In Medicine: Why It’s In Short Supply And What’s Needed To Replenish It

By Ted Fenske, MD In this workshop we will review the rising concern about non-

professional behaviour seen in medical trainees and practitioners, explore defi nitions of professionalism, and outline practical solutions needed to re-establish the doctor’s higher calling.

Luncheon DebateBe it resolved that Christian physicians must develop common ground with unbelievers and build on this neural base to be a credible witness in a secular worldDr Dan Reilly versus Reverend Joe BootParticipants will be challenged to consider the most effective means of sharing their biblically-based world view with non-Christians patients and colleagues.
