Thank you to everyone who attended last night’s talk with Dr. Nizam Razack and Dr. Em Walsh! We appreciated your thoughtful insights and questions!
Dr. Razack, a seasoned neurosurgeon and lawyer, spoke about how legal knowledge enhances medical practice and why physicians should know the law, and Dr. Walsh, a UCF professor, explored how religious transformations can complicate medical decision-making and impact healthcare outcomes.

Congratulations to the students who competed as a part of UCF's Ethics Bowl team! Next stop: Virginia for the APPE’s Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl!
UCF Wins First Place in the Southeast Regional Ethics Bowl After beating 14 teams in the regional event, the UCF Ethics Bowl Team will travel to Virginia in February 2025 to compete in the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics’ Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl.
Over the summer, UCF Philosophy was contacted by World Orlando—a program that works with the US Department of State to sponsor international visitors through their International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP)—because of our work in the Interfaith Dialogue program. Dr. Christy Flanagan-Feddon facilitated a synthesis and reflection session regarding the visitors' experiences in the US.
World Orlando plans experiences for the group in conjunction with government entities, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, religious institutions, and the like. The group Dr. Flanagan-Feddon worked with was from Indonesia, and their stop in Orlando was the final city after having visited several others in the country.
