The National Medical Association (NMA) stands as the collective voice of African American physicians, tirelessly championing parity and justice in medicine while striving to eliminate disparities in health.
Join a community of over 50,000 dedicated African American physicians and professionals committed to making a positive impact on healthcare.
Explore our diverse range of programs and initiatives aimed at advancing scientific and clinical knowledge, promoting healthy lifestyles, and addressing health disparities.
The National Medical Association (NMA) is the largest and oldest national organization representing African American physicians and their patients in the United States. The NMA is a 501(c) (3) national professional and scientific organization representing the interests of more than 50,000 African American physicians and the patients they serve. NMA is committed to improving the quality of health among minorities and disadvantaged people through its membership, professional development, community health education, advocacy, research and partnerships with federal and private agencies. Throughout its history the National Medical Association has focused primarily on health issues related to African Americans and medically underserved populations; however, its principles, goals, initiatives and philosophy encompass all ethnic groups.
Providing education and advocacy in support of safe, equitable and effective patient care. The program provides activities designed to promote health professional performance, competency and optimal patient outcome and services to the public and the profession.
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.
“Healthcare is a fundamental human right. The NMA is committed to addressing the health disparities that disproportionately affect Black Americans and ensuring access to quality health care for all.”
“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.”
Access valuable health resources designed to empower and educate. From information on cancer, cardiovascular disease, and HIV/AIDS to resources on women’s health, asthma, and immunization, we are dedicated to promoting healthy living and preventing illness.
A special thank you to the Medical Society of Eastern Pennsylvania - Black Doctors of Philadelphia for hosting NMA 126th President Roger A. Mitchell Jr., MD. They are doing fantastic things for our community. #mobilizinghealthcarejustice #thenewrecontruction
📢 The National Medical Association stands firmly on the side of science, public health, and the communities we serve.
Yesterday’s testimony by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. underscores the risks of undermining our nation’s public health system. The NMA calls for qualified, evidence-based experts to lead our most critical health agencies.
âś… We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the health and safety of every American.
âś… We stand by the proven power of vaccines to protect lives.
âś… We demand leadership rooted in science, not politics.
Vaccines save lives. Public health saves lives. And the NMA will always advocate for policies that protect both.
