- Abstract Or Scope
-
Duke Med Interfaith (DMI) was founded after a student recognized the need for a safe space for students to meditate or pray while in medical school. DMI was recognized in January 2017 by the School of Medicine and the Graduate Professional School Council as an affinity group. The group saw a need for spaces, conversations, and education around spirituality as it pertains to health care, including understanding religious traditions of colleagues, as well as patients under their care. Membership is open to all graduate and professional schools at Duke. DMI primarily hosts two types of events: social and educational. The records include files documenting DMI's newsletter, advertising, group constitution, and images and video clips of DMI celebrating religious holidays from different faith traditions. Materials date from 2016 to 2020.
