We are dedicated.
We are the New Jersey Chapter of the National Medical Association. We are NJMA.
Our Mission
The National Medical Association’s (NMA) mission is to be the nation’s voice for parity and justice in medicine and the elimination of disparities in health. Add your voice to the discussion by becoming a member and help NMA increase the representation and recognition of African Americans and other underrepresented minorities in medicine.
“I rely on the organization’s leadership to convene critical discussions focused on health policy, healthcare reform and the challenges facing physicians not only in clinical practice, but those in leadership in health plans, academia, pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry and public health.”
WHAT WE DO
Since its inception in 1895, the National Medical Association (NMA) has represented the specific interests and concerns of African-American physicians and their patients. The NMA continues to be the conscience of American medicine by working to end the disparities in health care and to improve the quality of health of minorities. Representing the interests of more than 30,000 African American physicians and the patients they serve, with nearly 129 affiliated societies throughout the nation and U.S. territories, the National Medical Association has been firmly established in a leadership role in medicine.
