The concept of calling represents a universal invitation to all God鈥檚 people to participate in Christ鈥檚 redemptive work in the world. While calling is dynamic and may change, our participation in that calling provides an opportunity for us to contribute to God鈥檚 goodness in the world in ways unique to who we are. The questions of 鈥渨ho am I, and who am I becoming鈥� that express the hallmark of calling represent a purposeful endeavor for students to consider their design and nature in how they will live faithfully in God鈥檚 story. It is in the faithful discovery of calling that character is understood more fully and amplified, and we develop our sense of moral agency.

If you trust your doctor, you鈥檙e more apt to listen to their advice, [or] to tell them your problems 鈥� no matter how personal 鈥� so they can treat you better and more holistically. I think that鈥檚 what 橙子影院 had in mind when they started the med school.鈥�
