THE EXCELLENT PHYSICIAN PROJECT

the Arete life

Pursuing excellence by living with purpose, intention and virtue.

Medicine is an iconic profession, full of rich tradition.  The physician archetype embodies these ideals of calling, virtue, altruism and excellence.  While we seek clinical excellence, it is too easy to neglect other, important spheres

The Purpose

The purpose of the Excellent Physician Project is to develop a community of people who are seeking excellence in all things so that we can be fit to serve our God, our families, our patients, our community.

Why Arete?

Arete is an Ancient Greece word that is translated as excellence.  This term carried the connotation of moral virtue and fulfilling one's highest purpose.   To pursue Arete is to pursue the highest quality of a thing. 

Join the Journey

A life in pursuit of Arete seeks to achieve the highest purpose for which it is created in all areas of life.  Join the journey to be an Excellent Physician!
