Answering Questions from Christian Healthcare Professionals: A Q&A on Ethics and Conscience
Host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz put together a special Q&A episode that steps away from the usual interview format to engage directly with the real questions CMDA members are asking. Drawing from ongoing advocacy and ethics conversations, as well as dialogue emerging through The Point of Medicine, they walk through practical, on-the-ground scenarios Christian healthcare professionals are facing today, from conscience protections and difficult clinical decisions to mentoring, grief, identity, and when (and how) to pray with patients. This conversation centers on what it looks like to speak truth with compassion while caring well for every person entrusted to us.
If you’re facing an ethical or advocacy concern, you can find CMDA’s ethics resources and position statements at cmda.org/ethics, and you can reach our team at [email protected] for guidance, including support when conscience rights are at stake. We also invite you to read, share, and contribute to The Point of Medicine, because healthy dialogue matters, especially in a time like this. And if you have questions you’d like us to address in a future Q&A, please send them in.
We want to invite you to the 2026 Remedy East Mission Conference, happening March 6–7 at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Remedy exists to equip and encourage healthcare students, trainees, and professionals to live missionally, serving Christ through their vocation, wherever God has placed them. This year’s theme, Beautiful Feet, drawn from Romans 10:15, reminds us that God uses ordinary faithfulness to accomplish extraordinary things. Whether you’re an undergrad, in professional school or residency, or actively practicing in healthcare, you’ll find plenary sessions and breakouts designed to challenge, encourage, and strengthen your calling. All healthcare-related students and professionals are welcome, and we’d love to see you there!
Registration is also open for the 2026 CMDA National Convention, happening April 23–26 in Loveland, Colorado, and now is a great time to secure your spot! Join us for a meaningful time to renew your spirit, recharge your faith, and connect with fellow believers in healthcare. We’re excited to welcome John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center and co-host of Breakpoint Radio, as a featured speaker. natcon.cmda.org.
