The Journal of the National Medical Association is focused on specialized clinical research activities related to the health problems of African Americans and other minority groups. Special emphasis is placed on the application of medical science to improve the healthcare of underserved populations both in the United States and abroad.
We must lead the continued fight against inequities in public health policies, public-funded private delivery methods and financing that impact the access and quality of care, and specialized medical education that ensures a diverse healthcare workforce.

“At a time when communities of color are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, a worsening maternal mortality crisis exists, and there continues to be a host of other disparities, the need for diversity in medicine and for perspectives such as ours is critical.”

The National Medical Association (NMA) recognizes April as World Autism Awareness Month—a time to celebrate neurodiversity, uplift the voices of individuals with autism, and promote understanding, inclusion, and equity in healthcare and beyond.
But our commitment doesn’t stop when April ends.
Autism awareness must be a year-round priority. We must continue to break down barriers, combat stigma, and ensure that children and adults on the autism spectrum have access to the care, support, and respect they deserve—every single day.
Together, let’s build a more inclusive, informed, and compassionate world. 💙
