Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ
This year, Medicine Varsity Christian Fellowship (Med VCF), Medicine Christian Fellowship (MCF) and Christian Medical &Dental Fellowship (CMDF) present to you the inaugural
CMDF Annual Fellowship 2012
Climatic Changes. Career Calling
The CMDF AFM this year will be held from 1:30pm to 4pm on 14 July 2012 as a part of a Medical Conference 2012 organized by medicine VCF. You are also encouraged to come for the entire conference from 9am to 4pm. This event, hopes to gather Christians from the healthcare profession, both nurses and doctors, student and practitioners for a time of fellowship and teaching. The theme focuses on staying true to our call as healthcare workers, despite a challenging work environment. Topics covered include:
“The Call of Obedience,”
A biblical exposition to understanding the biblical basis of a heavenly calling to ministry, vocation, and ultimately, a person’s purpose on earth. More importantly, it will try to highlight biblical principles in the call to the healthcare profession, and underscore the challenge/choices that we have to make as medical students in the ever-changing climate of the healthcare system – to accept the values espoused by the system, or to be faithful to the principles that we hold on to as Christians.
“The Challenge of Obedience”
This segment aims to tackle the issue of life choices in our career, in relation to both our call as children of God, and as healthcare professionals. It aims to look into issues such as choice of specialty, residency, full-time ministry, public vs private sector and career switches, and perhaps show that a calling may not be as straightforward as it seems.
“The Acts of Obedience”
This segment will begin by looking at the changes in the healthcare climate, both globally and locally, and identify how these changes will influence the practice of healthcare. More importantly, we would like to highlight how some of our Christian values can be challenged by these changes in the healthcare system. The presentations will be followed by a series of situational discussion, where groups will be formed between practitioners and students to debate on how Christians should respond to these challenges.
The planning committee have also gathered an exciting panel of speakers and presenters that include:
Dr. Louis Sutton, Director WEC international (Main speaker)
A/P. Paul Tambyah, NUH Infectious Disease
Dr. Darryl Chew, Dpt of Hand Surgery SGH
Dr. Stephen Lim, General Practitioner
Dr. Goh Wei Leong, Chairperson CMDF
