Inclusivity in healthcare has been an increasing topic of conversation, and that very much includes the many American Muslim physicians who are apart of that industry. In partnership with the Initiative on Islam and Medicine and American Muslim Health Professionals, we urgently ask all American Muslim physicians to take part in this short survey that examines how religious identity impacts workplace experiences. With your participation, we can better understand and improve the experiences of Muslim physicians within academic medicine.

All participants will also be entered into a raffle with prizes including a signed copy of a book or journal related to Islam and medicine, as well as a $75 gift card. Sign up below to take the survey.
