Dear Readers,
I apologize for the interruption in posts to this blog. I thought you might want a little pause in the commentary on Medical Staff Development. So here are some other thoughts:
People naturally have certain dispositions in their personality, but dispositions can be strengthened or suppressed by intentional spiritual training. Our mission team speaks often of having and developing an “appreciative disposition,” and it is an important disposition to develop. An appreciative disposition signifies a propensity to find the good in events and situations. It fosters an accepting attitude toward people. It does not signify that all people, situations, or beliefs are good. It signifies rather a faith that God will use people and situations for ultimate good. Out of this disposition flows a capacity for forgiveness, reconciliation, charity, peace, gentleness, joy, and patience. Can we hope for a better description of a healing environment? Can we not hope that our hospitals will be dominated by people with appreciative dispositions? To that end, invest heavily in the spiritual formation of the team and the physician champion who will succeed you. How can we promote the influence of physicians with appreciative dispositions?
