Dr. Parker is Assistant Professor of Medicine and Public Health Sciences and Assistant Director of The MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago. He is an ICU physician, medical ethicist, and NIH-funded health services researcher who studies the allocation of scarce medical resources. He is specifically interested in absolute scarcity problems, where demand greatly exceeds supply, and healthcare systems cannot avoid triaging life-saving therapies. He applies advanced empirical methods to evaluate and design allocation systems according to the underlying ethical principles. His current projects focus on deceased donor organ allocation, critical care triage under crisis standards of care, and COVID-19 vaccine allocation.
