What are misconceptions about Christianity you see in Medicine? The Thompson Institute

Episode Description:

Our next guest on the Walk is Dr. M. Jane Goleman.

Dr. Goleman is a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and a member of the Section of Ambulatory Pediatrics at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. She received her medical degree from OSU in 1982, and a second doctoral degree from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in 2010. Dr. Goleman’s clinical interest is in primary care, ADHD, and doctor-patient communication and its impact on health outcomes.

Dr. Goleman has decades of experience in academic medicine, but also has decades of experience as a spiritual mentor to medical students at OSU. Physicians now practicing across the country would attribute much of their personal growth to Dr. Goleman’s guidance in their lives; she has long been known for both her wisdom and her care. Without further ado, our interview with Dr. M. Jane Goleman.

In Part 1 of our interview with Dr. Goleman, we ask her what misconceptions about Christianity she sees in Medicine and what is most important to understand about the Christian message.
