Throughout his career and even in his retirement, Dr. Mekhjian shares a passion for virtuous medicine. Before his retirement, he championed medical ethics and professionalism. Through his efforts and the generosity of several of his friends (including George and Tina Skestos), he formed the annual Institutional Grand Rounds in Medical Ethics and Professionalism and an Endowed Chair in Medical Ethics and Professionalism, both which now bear his name. Dr. Mekhjian helped recruit and mentor the first Mekhjian Chair and founding director of the Center for Bioethics, Dr. Nash.
