Farrell, MD, MFA, is a chief resident in radiation oncology at UCLA. He grew up in Sacramento, studied film and creative writing at Stanford, and earned a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at the University of Oregon, where he taught undergraduate writing courses and wrote a collection of short stories for his thesis. Realizing that much of his creative work explored illness and cancer, he decided to pursue a career in medicine and attended medical school at Oregon Health &amp;amp; Science University before moving to LA for residency. His academic interests include health-related quality of life, JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion), narrative medicine, and health humanities. He has published essays and poems in&amp;nbsp;JAMA,&amp;nbsp;Journal of Clinical Oncology,&amp;nbsp;Practical Radiation Oncology, and other journals, and he currently teaches a narrative medicine course to 4th-year medical students. He lives with his wife, Jessica, an internal medicine physician, and their newborn son, Rowan.  The Cancer Education Series is a joint effort between Above + Beyond Cancer and MercyOne in Des Moines, Iowa.
