Healthcare Professions
September / October 2001

This issue of the Park Ridge Center Bulletin explores questions about practice and the healthcare professions. How have healthcare professionals evolved as moral agents in this age of managed care and health care nonreform? Is there still such a thing as a professional "calling"? And where do the human spirit and the divine intersect in becoming and remaining a healthcare professional? This issue offers several lenses through which to reexamine the healthcare professional's role in contemporary medicine
