Bible Study Resources

Welcome to SYNAPSE. A Bible Study Resource developed by the Christian Medical & Dental Fellowship of Australia.

This is a series of Bible studies resulting from a collaborative effort between many people, all who have completed formal theological education and the majority being healthcare workers. They are designed to be completed alongside a 4-year healthcare degree, one study per month. The studies are written in both a 20-minute and 1-hr format so that minimal preparation is needed. They are designed to spark group discussions and personal reflection. They have been developed with medical and dental students and graduates in mind, but we hope they will be useful for all people who would like to integrate Christian faith with work in healthcare.
