We are a community of Christian academic physicians and scientists who are committed to helping one another discern and live up to our faith-based calling. We endeavor to transform our academic communities through faith, fellowship, and scholarship.

News & Events

*Breaking Bread: Faith, Fellowship, Medicine, and Science. We are seeking faculty members to serve as ambassadors at medical or scientific conferences that they attend each year. They will serve as a lead to host a fellowship coffee or lunch event to further the reach of CAPS and facilitate scholarly collaborations. CAPS will reimburse for the cost of the event. Please send an email to [email protected] and we will forward your interest to Ryan  Kwok, MD and Kalon Ho, MD, MSc.

The funded faculty member will be expected to (1) present their research results in a 2025 CAPS webinar, and (2) submit a manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal.
