The Muslim Medical Students Association organizes the cultural, professional and spiritual life of its student body, while also initiating community oriented programs focusing on health-related issues. Recently, the Muslim MSA held a pioneering day-long conference entitled “Islam and Health—Treating Muslims: An Interdisciplinary Perspective.”  This one-day panel explored, for the first time, the impact of Islam on the healthcare practices of Muslims.
