Craig received his undergraduate degree in Chemistry and his Master’s degree in philosophy before earning his medical degree from Ben Gurion University at the Medical School for International Health. He completed both a residency in Family Medicine and a fellowship in Palliative Care at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. His interests include cancer pain, existential/spiritual issues at the end of life, and medical ethics: specifically, questions regarding ethical decision-making at the end of life, international health, virtue ethics and the application of Jewish medical ethics in palliative care.

"I find no greater satisfaction than working with patients and their families when faced with a life-limiting illness. Understanding the many ways in which we suffer and finding how to alleviate that suffering, is not only the essence of medicine, but an opportunity to develop as a human being."
