Dr. Padela and colleagues at NYU recently published a paper on how Muslim allied healthcare professionals view death by neurologic criteria (DNC). 

IIM recently contributed to a joint statement released by the National Muslim Taskforce on COVID-19, regarding a phased reopening of mosques across the United States.

The British Board of Scholars and Imams recently collaborated with IIM in assembling this guide, which lays out an ethical framework sourced from the Islamic tradition to guide Muslim stakeholders in their decision-making regarding resource allocation and end-of-life care. It addresses patient/family-level, clinician-level, and policy-maker level considerations, while recognising that every decision should be contextual and multi-faceted.

What is the New Normal Movement?
We are starting an exciting project aimed atunderstanding the healthcare needs of Muslim patients with regard to hospital accommodations with the hopes of affecting change to hospital policies in your region. This is a great opportunity to get involved in unique research that will benefit the Muslim community (See previous focus group).

Why is this important?
Muslim participation in health research is low. By being involved in this study you will help us push for health care that better serves Muslims in the U.S.

• Mentorship and support from the Islam and Medicine
• Share in the reward from Allah (SWT) for your intentions and any good that results from this research
• Opportunity to get involved in future projects
