Sacred Medicine: Mystery, Meaning, and the Limits of Science with Dr. Tyler Johnson
About This Event
Dr. Tyler Johnson is a clinical associate professor of medicine and oncology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, where he leads the Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program and is a principal medical school faculty member. A prolific author and podcaster, Dr. Johnson explores the place of religion in a post-modern and often secular world through his writing at the On the Road to Jericho Substack and through recorded conversations at the "The Doctor's Art" podcast. Dr. Johnson's lecture will examine what nearly 200 hours of discussion with philosophers, clerics, theologians, doctors, nurses, patients and authors have taught him about the role of the sacred in the practice of modern medicine and the need for mystery in a realm usually ruled by a devotion to science.
