2 Core Knowledge NCCAOM® PDA Points

Excerpt:“These are very important assumptions that are built into the medicine, and they may not be shared from culture to culture. Deep questions are inherent in a medicine; even questions like, What is the meaning of life? Why are we here, what are we doing here, and what happens next, after this life?
