Dr. Brewer Eberly is a third-generation family physician at the Fischer Clinic in Raleigh, NC and a research affiliate with the Theology, Medicine, & Culture Initiative at Duke Divinity School. He completed his family medicine residency and chief residency at AnMed Health in Anderson, South Carolina, and is a fellow of both the Theology, Medicine, & Culture Fellowship at Duke Divinity School and the Paul Ramsey Institute with the Center for Bioethics & Culture.
He has been published widely, including JAMA, Academic Medicine, AMA Journal of Ethics, Hektoen, BMJ Journal of Medical Ethics, The New Atlantis, Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, Student Doctor Network, CHEST, Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, STAT, Doximity, KevinMD, Public Discourse, Linacre Quarterly, and the Journal of Religion and Health, as well as theological spaces like Mere Orthodoxy, Christianity Today, Plough, Comment, Theopolis, (TH-EE-OHP-O-LYS) and First Things. His artwork has been featured on the cover of Academic Medicine and in the AMA Journal of Ethics.
While the majority of his time is spent caring for his patients, his research is rooted in the intersections of medicine, aesthetics, bioethics, and theology, with a particular eye toward medical trainee formation, the nourishment of weary clinicians, and the relationship between beauty and ethics. He is on the planning committee with Columbia University’s Center for Clinical Ethics “Medicine & the Art of Ethics” colloquium on human vulnerability, which brings together vocational artists, clinicians, ethicists, theologians, and philosophers to explore how art invokes moral action, and what that might mean for clinical ethics and the future of medical training and practice. He and his wife Dendy have three sons, and worship at Redeemer Anglican Church in Raleigh.
