Description of CME Course
Most Americans say that religion is important to them. If you ignore this dimension, you limit your ability to attend to your patients’ needs. Religious beliefs impact patients’ health and responses to disease, and they exert a special influence during times of personal crisis and suffering. Empathic exploration and dialogue about religious and spiritual matters is an important therapeutic tool. Clinicians who compassionately address religion and spirituality in their medical encounters can enhance patients’ ability to cope with illness.
