Aims

The Sydenham 2 International Leadership Course (SYD2) aims to equip and enthuse delegates for leadership among medics in their own countries. The programme will be rich in Bible teaching, seminars, and fellowship; focusing on principles of Godly leadership, and encouraging delegates to live faithfully as Christians in medicine. The conference is intended for young doctors who are actively involved in Christian ministry.

The 2019 programme has not been finalized but will follow a similar format to the 2018 conference:

SYD2 also includes attendance at CMF's Junior Doctors Conference , 25-27 October, Hothorpe Hall, Leicestershire, UK.

Please note, the conference will be conducted in English, and there will not be any formal translation. Therefore all delegates must have sufficient conversational English to attend talks and enter into discussions in English without a translator.

This is what some delegates had to say about 2018 SYD2:

"Being a good doctor is not just accumulating knowledge and experience, but it is about having a humble and compassionate character. SYD2 helped me to go one step further in my walk with God and to see the implications of my belief on my work as a doctor."

I, unreserved recommend SYD2 for every Christian Doctor who wants to ground their mind with both scriptural and medical knowledge to live out their faith in every area of their lives. SYD2 settled my doubts on some of the ethical issues I was struggling with, it also catalysed my passion for the gospel and brought me in contact with like-minded brethren all over the World. So come along and be part of this great experience and stand out boldly for the Lord.

SYD2 is a great opportunity to grow in your faith through very good teaching and fellowship with other Christians from all over the world. Don't miss it!
