Convening is central to TMC’s work. It is where clinicians, scholars, and leaders gather for shared worship, learning, and community. Through seminars, working groups, and gatherings such as Practice & Presence, participants draw on Scripture, the practices of the church, and the lived experience of clinicians and patients to renew their imaginations for health care.
Practice & Presence
Each fall, join clinicians, scholars, faculty, and students at Duke Divinity School for a gathering focused on worship, shared learning, and reflection on the work of health care.
Practice & Presence
Conversations in Theology, Medicine, and Culture
Join a monthly virtual conversation where clinicians and scholars engage questions in theology and health care.

Conference on Medicine and Religion
The annual Conference on Medicine and Religion is a leading forum for discourse and scholarship at the intersection of medicine and religion. TMC is proud to be a long-time cosponsor of this conference. Each year, several TMC faculty, students, and alumni contribute through workshops, papers, and poster presentations. A highlight of the conference is the evening gathering we host for TMC friends and colleagues, offering time for shared conversation and connection.

We are social, vulnerable beings who need each other. We are not isolated, disembodied atoms ... I have been led to a new community of people, a new network that I will be colleagues and friends with for the rest of my life. [TMC] nurtures the very difficult profession that we as health care practitioners have been called to do.
