The 12-Week Prescription: Scripture, Prayer, and the Soul of a Healthcare Professional
What happens when a family medicine physician trained in China, formed in West Africa, and forged in the crucible of American medical residency decides the Church needs to speak more directly into the lives of healthcare professionals? Dr. Carla Da Goia Pinto joins Bill Reichart on the CMDA Student Pulse Podcast to talk about her book Pray Like This — a 12-week Scripture-based prayer devotional written specifically for those who heal for a living. Dr. Pinto brings a word that is equal parts practical and prophetic — and it’s one every medical or dental student, resident, and fellow needs to hear.
An Epidemic Hiding in Plain Sight
In this episode, Bill Reichart sits down with Dr. David Staab, a retired general surgeon and CMDA Member Care volunteer, to talk about what no one wants to talk about.

If you or someone you know is wrestling silently, this conversation is a place to start.
When God Shows Up in the Sickness
