The Hippocratic Society will offer a compelling alternative to the de-moralized status quo of contemporary medicine. We will equip and support the next generation of those seeking to fulfill their healing profession.
Mission
Forming and sustaining clinicians in the practice and pursuit of good medicine.
-
Today’s medical education largely ignores the task of moral formation. In contrast, we focus on cultivating virtues that characterize good medical practitioners.
-
Today’s medical ethics often asks us to set aside clinical judgment in service to patient autonomy and the expectations of third parties. In contrast, we seek to discern and do what good medicine requires, thereby fulfilling our healing profession.
-
Today’s corporatization of healthcare treats practitioners as interchangeable “providers” who are expected to “just do your job,” contributing to a crisis of medical morale. In contrast, we embrace medicine as a sacred profession, and we help medical practitioners to flourish in serving their patient’s genuine good.
