Synopsis

While it is true that medicine and religion once had overt connections that have since declined, The Secularization of Medicine argues that religion as a social force in medicine has not been extinguished. Instead, religious material or ideas have migrated to non-religious or secular spaces and have been absorbed by the surrounding culture. Medicine is not as secular as we might imagine it to be, and this has implications for the well-being of physicians.
