Major Islamic Bioethics Program

UVA has trained Dr. Farhat Moazam, a pediatric surgeon, has completed training at University of Virginia in bioethics through UVA's incredibly influential religious studies-based doctoral program. Farhat returns to Pakistan to direct the Centre of Biomedical Ethics and Culture at the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation in Karachi. The Center will be creating a new Masters program and will continue to work with faculty at UVA including Paul Lombardo and Jonathan Moreno, and will be sponsoring a major week-long Islamic Bioethics meeting in April.
