About Iranian American Medical Association

The Iranian American Medical Association is a non-profit, professional association dedicated to promoting education, health, communication and research in medical sciences.

The IAMA organization is established for charitable and educational purposes, for assisting students in the field of medicine financially and for providing healthcare assistance to needy Iranians.
To achieve the above goals all Iranians and Iranian descents in the medical field in the US should unite and at the same time support each other and have a powerful voice.

To run this organization in the most democratic way, the state chapters and sections were established. In this way they are capable of managing their internal affairs independently from the IAMA central administration.

IAMA strives to establish Continuous Medical Education each year during the annual meeting and publishes the associated activities in the IAMA Bulletin to fulfill its’ educational obligation. The Public Awareness Seminars for Iranians here in the US is also sponsored by the Chapters and is aimed to discuss topics in variety of medical disciplines and at the same time to help in contributing in solving their medical, dental and other healthcare needs.

IAMA continues to contribute to humanitarian and professional assistance especially after disasters in Iran and US. After the devastating earthquake in the City of BAM in southern Iran which took the lives of 28k people, IAMA pledged to build and run an advanced medical center to give free medical, dental care and counseling to the needy people in the area.

IAMA is proud to announce the establishment of "IAMA Medical Center" in Bam City of Iran with the above mentioned efforts and with cooperation of Bam University Medical School. This center consists of a medical facility with a modern minor surgery room, counseling center and dental care.

IAMA continues to encourage Iranian American health care providers for all the above reasons and causes. IAMA is a not for profit, apolitical, secular, non-racial, and gender neutral organization.
