The founder of the Edith Stein Foundation, Dr. Dominic Pedulla, will be a featured workshop leader at the NFP Outreach National Summer Institute. The event will take place from July 11-16 at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. His talk on July 15, entitled “Establishing an NFP clinic at a Healthcare system or Private Practice”, will address the very practical steps involved when a physician takes the courageous action to step out and establish an NFP-only practice. Topics will include:
  • Addressing integration into a practice
  • Addressing liability concerns
  • Addressing financial effects
  • Developing available materials for self-study
  • Already available resources and groups
NFP Outreach is partnering with Benedictine College with a grant from Our Sunday Visitor to bring a June Seminar to the Catholic College. The line up looks solid, a good balance between theological and pastoral, study and practice.

  • Dr. Janet Smith, Chair of Life Ethics, Sacred Heart Major Seminary (July 11)
  • Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, Kansas City in Kansas (July 13)
  • John Allen, Jr., Vatican analyst for CNN & NPR; & All Things Catholic at NCR (July 13)
  • Dr. Robert P. George, Princeton University & Co-initiator “Manhattan Declaration” (July 15)
  • Dr. Jan Hemstad, M.D., President, Catholic Medical Association & Medical Doctors of the CMA (July 15 & 16)

 

There are three tracks, geared towards those working in different areas of service:

  1. THEOLOGY OF THE BODY CONFERENCE TO EDUCATORS (RELIGION, HEALTH SCIENCE, AND MARRIAGE PREPARATION)
  2. CLERGY, RELIGIOUS & COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE LEADERS
  3. MEDICAL PROFESSIONS & HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION

The cost structure, somewhat complex, seems to vary depending on who you are, what days you attend, and for medical professionals (Friday’s talks), whether you are a member of the Catholic Medical Association. So: $0-$450, and there’s an incentive to get dioceses to send multiple attendees: 5th attendee free!
