Journal Club Last Night

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our quarterly Journal Club yesterday evening!

We had a great turnout with wide-ranging and inspiring discussion about the technocratic influences in medicine and our society in general.

Ultimately we agree that we can perhaps occasionally fight the ‘big fight’ against such dehumanizing forces…and…we must never lose sight of the ways in which we can, in our everyday lives, intentionally maintain/restore human connections.

Again, thank you to everyone who was able to make it last night. We will be announcing our next Journal Club date and topic soon, so stay tuned!
