Orthodox Christian Association of Medicine, Psychology and Religion (OCAMPR)
Welcome to the Orthodox Christian Association of Medicine, Psychology and Religion (OCAMPR). OCAMPR is an affiliate ministry of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops (formerly SCOBA) and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit corporation.
OCAMPR exists to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and promote Christian fellowship among professionals in medicine, psychology and religion. Members pursue an understanding of the whole person which integrates the basic assumptions of medicine, psychology and religion within the Orthodox Christian faith. OCAMPR is for those who seek to understand and experience the best relationship between theology and the healing arts and sciences in order to offer their services in the light of Christ’s truth and the Church’s healing wisdom.
OCAMPR members have access to monthly online, 1-hour Community of Practice Gatherings focused on education and networking.
Our main event of the year is our annual fall conference
October 2 – 4, 2025
University of St. Mary of the Lake
Mundelein, IL (Chicago area)
In September, 2024 over 150 OCAMPR members and supporters came together for the 2024 OCAMPR Conference.
OCAMPR has been a blessing in my life for over 30 years. It’s been a joy to witness its growth and most importantly, to have discovered vital new relationships with Orthodox who approach the dialogue between medicine, psychology, faith, life and worship with integrity and joy.
