Barriers to Collaboration

Ironically, issues of faith are often the greatest barriers to physician formation. The prevailing attitude in the United States is that faith and its expressions have no role in the work place. Perhaps this attitude derives from a mistaken interpretation of the constitutional separation of church and state. Others feel that expressions of faith are imperative, but may not express themselves appropriately. Some physicians, like other hospital workers, have preconceptions about spirituality that arise from their faith traditions. Others have no faith tradition or possibly exhibit antagonism toward God, faith or a particular faith tradition.

Where does faith get in the way for you?
