Catholic lay physicians are called to be God's instrument of healing in both the operating room and the clinic. We are all called to be Christ's presence to others. In realizing this unique role entrusted to the Catholic physician, may we all strive to remember the dignity of each patient we treat and approach our vocation with a profound reverence for our fellow man, created in God's image.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00243639261486682","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]],"date-time":"2026-09-23T12:14:07Z","timestamp":1790165647000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Called to Heal: Parallelisms Between the Catholic Faith and the Art of Medicine"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5883-1865","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William A.","family":"Langbo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rush University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","first-page":"82","volume-title":"Proslogion.
