Iranian American Medical Association
About Iranian American Medical Association
Based in Haledon, NJ, the Iranian American Medical Association represents a unified community of healthcare professionals dedicated to education, research, and humanitarian service. IAMA was established with charitable and educational purposes at its core, specifically designed to provide financial assistance to medical students and healthcare support to underserved Iranian populations. The organization operates through democratically structured state chapters and sections, enabling local communities to manage their affairs independently while contributing to broader organizational goals. What distinguishes IAMA is its dual commitment to professional excellence and global humanitarian impact. The association actively contributes to disaster relief efforts, most notably pledging to build and operate an advanced medical center following the devastating earthquake in Bam, Iran, demonstrating the organization's dedication to serving vulnerable populations. Through public awareness seminars and community health initiatives, IAMA addresses medical, dental, and healthcare needs within the Iranian American community across the United States. The organization fosters meaningful connections among Iranian and Iranian-descended medical professionals, creating a supportive network where colleagues can exchange knowledge, collaborate on research, and collectively address healthcare challenges. IAMA's commitment extends beyond professional networking—the association actively encourages healthcare providers to use their expertise for community benefit. As a secular, non-racial, and apolitical organization, IAMA welcomes all healthcare professionals who share its vision of advancing medicine through education, communication, and compassionate service to those in need.
