Theology, Medicine, and Culture

The TMC Initiative creates opportunities for students, clergy, and health care practitioners to reimagine and re-engage contemporary practices of health care in light of Christian tradition and the practices of Christian communities. Building on the unique strengths and commitments of Duke Divinity School, the TMC Initiative pursues two primary goals: 1. To invite seminarians, clergy, students in the health professions, and practicing clinicians to deep theological study and formation in the context of a community of shared prayer, dialogue, and friendship at Duke Divinity School. 2. To cultivate creative practices regarding health and medicine that emerge from a scriptural imagination, engagement with the living Christian tradition, and attention to and reflection on contemporary contexts. Duke TMC offers graduate-level residential and hybrid programs for students, as well as continuing education for scholars, clergy, and clinicians.
