William F. Parker, MD,PHD

Assistant Professor of Medicine and Public Health Sciences
University of Chicago
Chicago, Illinois

Dr. Parker is an assistant professor of medicine and public health sciences and an assistant director of the MacLean Center at the University of Chicago. He is a pulmonary and critical care physician, clinical medical ethicist, and 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 triage patients for treatment using algorithms. He runs an NIH and Greenwall Foundation funded quantitative bioethics lab that applies advanced empirical methods to evaluate and design allocation systems according to the underlying ethical principles. Current lab projects include deceased donor organ allocation policy, life-support tirage under crisis standards of care, and the allocation of novel scarce therapeutics.
