Webinar #151 Dr Rebekah Zechariah & Team - Promoting Family Medicine Worldwide

Recorded on 11 May 2023 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Santhosh Mathews chairs a webinar with Dr Rebekah Zechariah & Team. The practice of Christ-centered Family Medicine is the need of the hour in delivering Christ-centered healthcare all across the world. Health professionals are looking for those skills that will help them see their patients, families and communities as a whole and offer care that is beyond just a clinical assessment. Join this webinar to hear how ICMDA in partnership with CMC Vellore is training doctors in low- and middle-income countries with distinct family physician attitudes, skills and knowledge. Dr Rebekah Zechariah heads the Distance Education Department at Christian Medical College Vellore. A Geriatrician by training, Dr Rebekah has always had a passion for teaching, and she had the God-given opportunity to be involved in Medical Education right from the beginning of her career. She completed her Masters in Higher Education and has been involved with CMC's Distance Education team since early 2015. One of her focus areas is enabling learners to understand education as a whole and being able to equip others to teach and learn well. She is grateful to God that she has an excellent team to work with, who with the Lord's help, is able to run many courses and training programs on a blended learning platform in India and globally.
