Physicians Vision and Virtues for a New Era in Medicine

The Formation of Physicians Vision and Virtues for a New Era in Medicine

October 6-8, 2011

Bienvenido to the 80th Annual Educational Conference to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, October 6-8, 2011. In the increasingly challenging world of health care, physicians must seek out and renew the knowledge, skills, and character formation necessary to uphold their Catholic faith and the integrity of the medical profession consistent with the Hippocratic tradition. Our conference will contribute to this formation by providing education on foundational topics in moral theology, clinical moral decision making, spirituality, and the law, including the application of the USCCB’s Ethical and Religious Directives. Participants will have opportunities to apply the principles discussed in presentations to difficult ethical dilemmas pulled from current headlines, in small group and panel discussions.

The 80th Annual Educational Conference will feature distinctive Southwest themes in accommodation and cuisine, as well as a unique special event with a Latin flair. At the same time, under the protection of our patroness, Our Lady of Guadalupe, participants will experience the spiritual milieu for which CMA conferences are famous, including daily Mass, rosary, and confessions, as well as Eucharistic Adoration.

Come to Phoenix for an unforgettable experience of faith, formation, and fellowship!
