2nd Sister Generose Gervais Faith and Medicine Symposium

Required

“Successful navigation of change requires a steadfast focus on values. They are the compass. They are the cornerstone. Values never change. The only way to withstand the winds of change is to have your values as your foundation.” Sr. Generose Gervais

“Values are caught and not taught. I encourage the staff to ponder the question, why do I do what I do? Hopefully their answer resonates with a pledge set forth by our founders over a century ago; ‘to heal the sick and advance the science and practice of medicine’. This is true today”. Sr. Generose Gervais

“When I interviewed prospective new staff, I never asked their religion or faith tradition. I only asked if they thought they were able to live the Mayo Clinic primary value, “putting the needs of the patient first,” if they could, I knew they could serve a goal greater than themselves, and that is foundation of all faith.” Sr. Generose Gervais

Continuing Medical Education for credits will be available.

The aim of this conference is to explore the dynamic relationship between advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), medicine, beauty, faith, meaning and purpose, within the healthcare industry. By bringing together healthcare professionals, AI researchers, and spiritual leaders, we aim to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue that delves into the potential synergies between these seemingly divergent aspects. Through thought-provoking panel discussions, and innovative novel presentations, we aspire to uncover how the integration of medicine and beauty with AI and technology can revolutionize patient care, enhance healing, and bring meaning and purpose to medical providers.

The target audience is healthcare professionals including physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, therapists (respiratory, physical, occupational, speech), pharmacists, chaplains and medical administrators, who are looking for a deeper meaning in their work in the current complex medical technological environment.
