WHY JOIN NJMA?
WE SEE YOU

There is strength in numbers
We welcome all physicians, medical students and residents who live and /or work in New Jersey.
We also invite providers, dentists, pharmacists, advanced practice nurses, physical therapists and more who seek to network and further the overarching mission of our organization, reducing health care disparities in communities of color.
We meet monthly to establish priorities amongst membership to mentor, volunteer and network.
