The Theology, Medicine, and Culture Initiative (TMC) welcomed Dr. Elaine Eng for this virtual seminar on October 27, 2023. Elaine Eng, M.D., is a graduate of Princeton University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She is a professor of mental health counseling who integrates faith, medicine, and psychology in her international and local work as an educator, psychiatrist, and author. Dr. Eng was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa in hear adulthood. Her impending blindness meant that she would no longer be able to practice as an obstetrician/gynecologist. Dr. Eng shares a compelling story of faith and commitment to medicine amidst adversity in this virtual seminar. Dr. Eng's books include "The Transforming Power of Story: How Telling Your Story Brings Hope to Others and Healing to Yourself," and "A Christian Approach to Overcoming Disability: A Doctor's Story."
