Farr Curlin, M.D., is an Instructor in the Section of General Internal Medicine and the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago, where he recently completed the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and a fellowship in clinical ethics. His research and teaching center on the intersection of religion and medicine, particularly the ways physicians' religious commitments shape their clinical engagements. He has completed the first national study of physicians' religious characteristics and their approaches to religion/spirituality and medicine, and he is currently studying the ways obstetrician-gynecologists navigate moral complexity in sexual and reproductive health care. Dr. Curlin also writes and teaches about the moral dimensions of medical practice, moral formation in medical education, and moral discourse within the doctor-patient relationship.
