On this episode of Conversations in Science and Faith I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Tyler Johnson, a Stanford oncologist, award winning educator, published writer, and host of The Doctor's Art podcast. We discussed how oncology in particular demand precision but also presence. Medicine can often feel totalizing and having a background in faith can help recenter the focus on the whole patient. 

Dr. Johnson discusses how to balance the "puzzle" of complex cases with the person in front of us, and the root behind why so many doctors experience burnout. He illustrates why simple rituals like "kneeling at the bedside" can ground us and how these habits can sustain purpose in training and beyond. 

If you're a student, trainee, or clinician seeking practical ways to heal with scientific rigor and faith based humility, this conversation is for you.
