Sharing your Faith with Patients (1st Feb)

Hey Everybody!

Hands up all who have ever found sharing your faith difficult at one time or another- yep mine's in the air too. Add that the person you want to share with is your patient to the mix, and things get just that bit more complicated.........

So, we've organised a session on sharing your faith with patients, what the GMC says about it (and how NOT to do it!), a biblical view and some personal stories from an Aberdeen GP, Dr Peter Kiehlmann. It promises to be an extremely interesting evening and touches the core of what it means to be both a Christian and a Medic, I can't recommend it enough!

It's being held at the Med Chi building at Foresterhill on the 1st Feb (Monday) and everyone who wants to is welcome to come from all years and student/non-student alike! There will be food and nibbles from around 5.30pm with the talk hoping to start around 6.00pm. It would be great to see folk there and, especially if you're thinking of coming for the first time, drag some other folk along with you!

Anyway, I'll see you on the 1st, make sure you keep the date free :)

Welcome to CMF Grampian!

About CMF: Christian Medical Fellowship (CMF) is an interdenominational organization aimed at helping Christian doctors and medical students integrate all aspects of their medical career with their faith. CMF has over 4000 doctors and 1000 medical students, and has active groups in 38 out of the 40 medical schools in the UK.
Regular journals are produced for students and graduates alike (Nucleus and Triple Helix) from the central office in London. CMF takes a keen interest in ethical issues, and regularly makes submissions to government consultations on upcoming law changes. We also partner with other Christian medical associations in many countries through the ICMDA (International Christian Medical and Dental Association).

More about CMF UK 

CMF Grampian: We are a group of Christian doctors and medical students in who live, work and/or study in Aberdeen. The students group meets fortnightly on Mondays for a meal and banter, usually followed by a talk or discussion. These discussions may focus on issues relating to faith and Medicine, and being a Christian in the NHS; or may involve ethical discussions or debates. Once a month, there is a Student-Doctor meal held at our University Secretary's home - delicious food, great company and lots of fun!

We also organise Freshers' events every year - we traditionally have a booth at the Regents' Evening (the Medical School's version of the Freshers' Fayre), and there is an annual Freshers' Barbeque held during Freshers' week each year.

Graduation is the other major milestone of student life, and we hold graduation events every year to send off the 5th years who are soon to become newly-minted doctors. It's a great opportunity to say goodbye, cement old friendships, and meet doctors from the local area, who might soon become your colleagues.

There are also a variety of other events and conferences during the year, some held within Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire, and some further afield. If you are interested and would like to know more, feel free to email us at cmfaberdeen@gmail.com.
