Students enhance their patient care skills by examining the relationship between spirituality and health, learn the role of spirituality and religion in health care, and examine issues related to the interaction between spiritual outlook and compliance with medical treatment. Faculty and expert guest presenters lead discussions on how belief systems affect patients' perception of health, necessary spiritual considerations in patient care, therapeutic dilemmas produced by spiritual beliefs, and resources available to the health care team.
