What Moves the Scalpel? Science, Religion and the Practice of Medicine

Primary Author: Farr A. Curlin, University of Chicago

Video and audio files of a talk Dr. Farlin gave at the Mayo Clinic as part of the Veritas Forum. "In this lecture, Farr Curlin unpacks the way medicine looks beyond science to find forces that motivate care for the sick, direct the application of medical technology, and ground clinical care in an orientation to the patient as person. He suggests that even though religious ideas are rarely made explicit in public and professional discourse about medicine, they are everywhere implicit and operative, necessarily so. In this light, Curlin argues that the time is ripe for clinicians and laypeople to develop practices of medicine that are more fulsomely and self-consciously grounded in and informed by religion."
