On this episode, we chat with Phifer Nicholson, an MD Candidate and Theology, Medicine, and Culture Fellow at Duke University and incoming surgical resident at UCLA. Phifer shares about his experiences with medical ethics both domestically and abroad and hear about his journey through medical and divinity school. Integrating the two, Phifer shares his story of working in spaces like Palestine and South Sudan and helps us understand how he approaches his access and privilege in medical spaces through a posture of liberation theology and accompaniment.
There is lots that faith-based medical efforts abroad have gotten wrong and in conversation with Phifer, we explore how we can be better neighbors and allies in an effort to liberate, heal and improve our infastructures together.
