Society of Saints Cosmas and Damian
The Society of Saints Cosmas and Damian (SSCD) is a student group that exists to provide support and community to Christian, particularly Catholic, medical students at Vanderbilt, so that they can grow in their faith throughout the course of their medical training. Through small group discussions, lectures, worship, and informal gatherings, we hope to address the physical, emotional, moral, and spiritual challenges of medical practice and strengthen one another through religious formation and community. We also serve to connect students with Catholic physicians, both locally and nationally, through a strong relationship with the wider Catholic Medical Association. The SSCD welcomes members of any faith background or spiritual belief system and are grateful for the variety of perspectives this introduces to our discussions. We look forward to meeting you and hope to see you at future events!
