Annual Ethics Lectureship

This unique lectureship is an annual tradition by NWSCRS and is funded by Mr. Parviz Kamangar, a grateful patient, to remind physicians and surgeons to place an emphasis on providing compassionate care. Mr. Kamangar holds a special regard for instilling ethical fundamentals among surgical trainees, so the symposium specifically recruits presenters from all stages of training -- from pre-medical student to surgical fellow.
