In this episode of Catholic in America, Jason Adkins hosts Dr. Kristin Collier, a University of Michigan internist who directs a program integrating religion, spirituality, and healthcare. Dr. Collier discusses her journey into healthcare, the impact of her Christian faith on her vocation since 2016, and the importance of viewing patients as whole persons—body, mind, and spirit. The conversation explores the crisis of trust in medicine, the limitations of evidence-based medicine, and how to incorporate philosophical and spiritual perspectives into healthcare. Dr. Collier also advocates for addressing the broader question of human dignity within the medical field and emphasizes the role of the church in fostering right relationships and providing care that respects the inherent worth of each individual.
