Healthcare and Religion Lecture

Benjamin R. Doolittle, MD, MDiv, FAAP, FACP
Associate Professor, Internal Medicine & Pediatrics
Yale University School of Medicine

Abstract: For the past three years Dr. Benjamin Doolittle has collaborated with a colleague from the Andover Newton Seminary at Yale to offer a course on theology and medicine. In 2020 the course focused on how epidemics past have challenged—and changed—the practice of medicine and the practice of faith, and how the current pandemic will affect both. In this talk, Dr. Doolittle shares insights from his experience developing and teaching this course, as well as his provision of clinical care during the pandemic and his long-standing interest in preventing burnout among medical students, residents, and other clinical colleagues.
