Medical Malpractice Ministry

A malpractice lawsuit can wreak havoc on a doctor's family, career, and emotional and spiritual well-being. The effects can be devastating. CMDA's Medical Malpractice Ministry is available to intervene with prayer, educational resources, and a commission of doctors who have faced malpractice suits themselves.

CMDA has a free Medical Malpractice Ministry kit available to you. This kit contains three compact discs and two printed articles for the doctor and spouse, explaining what they are facing. A legal video is available for loan as well. CMDA recommends watching this video with your attorney to assist with setting up depositions.

If you request it, a member of the Malpractice Commission of CMDA will act as a prayer partner and encourager during this difficult time. In addition, you may choose to be placed on the CMOA prayer list.

Available Resources
The Medical Malpractice Ministry Resource Kit - contains three compact discs and two printed articles to assist physicians and their families during a lawsuit.

"The Malpractice Suit: A Survival Guide for Physicians and Their Families" - a rental video to assist in every aspect of a malpractice case.

Personal Counseling - carefully selected CMDA members and staff trained to provide confidential medical and spiritual counseling and general legal education.

Resident Physician Fellowship

Atlanta Area Resident Physician Bible Study and Fellowship

Sponsored by: The Christian Medical & Dental Association (CMDA) of Atlanta &

Intervarsity Christian Fellowship Graduate and Faculty Ministry

Who: Atlanta Area Resident Physicians and Fellows of all Specialties and Denominations

What: A Christian Bible Study on the book of Philippians and Fellowship Opportunity. Plus free food!

When: The second and fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm

Where: Pinebloom Mansion, 1585 S. Ponce de Leon Ave, Atlanta, GA 30307. Please see below for directions. (Pinebloom Mansion is a historic mansion converted into the offices for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Jackson Hills Baptist Church and Veritas Church.)

What to bring: Yourself and (if you remember) a bible. This is completely free.

What to do: Email arif373@gmail.com (Arif Ali, PGY-4 Emory Radiation Oncology Resident Physician) if you're interested in hearing more information or would like to be put on the monthly reminder email list. (Plus, we need to know roughly how much food to order)

Why: Residency is arguably the most demanding and stressful period of a physician's career. Given the trials of our daily lives, we need the fellowship of other Christian resident physicians and a time to collectively reflect on His Word. Currently, there is a strong attending physician Christian community in Atlanta and a strong medical student Christian community in Atlanta, however, there does not currently exist any stable and regular resident physician Christian bible study. CMDA Atlanta and Intervarsity Christian Fellowship are excited to help meet this present need by providing staff support, web site support, a stable meeting location, and regular meeting time for an Atlanta area bible study for resident physicians. We hope to see you there!
