Yale Program for Medicine, Spirituality & Religion

The Yale Program for Medicine, Spirituality & Religion (YPMSR) is founded upon the belief that healing concerns the wellness of both the body and the spirit. We seek to understand the implications of religious practice, communal support, and intrinsic belief for the health and wellness. We are scholarly in focus, seeking evidence to discern how the worlds of medicine and religion impact one another. We are collaborative in spirit, reaching across Yale University and other institutions to foster dialogue and research.

About YPMSR

The purpose of YPMSR is to foster dialogue about the relationship between religion, spirituality, and medicine among students and faculty at Yale, collaborate across departments and schools in the research of religion, spirituality, and medicine, and translate and disseminate the fruits of research in order to foster mutual understanding and to improve patient care.
