New England Hellenic Medical and Dental Society
About New England Hellenic Medical and Dental Society
The New England Hellenic Medical and Dental Society is an organization of physicians, dentists, scientists, and allied health professionals who are either permanent residents or citizens of the United States. Its members either live in, or are enrolled in a medical, dental, or allied health degree or fellowship program, in the New England area.
The NEHMDS exists for charitable, educational, civic, and scientific purposes. It provides scholarships and professional mentoring to medical, dental, and allied health students. In addition, the Society provides a forum for its members to network and disseminate knowledge, serving to enhance the quality of healthcare being delivered. The NEHMDS promotes the scientific advancement of medicine and other health disciplines and fosters educational programs through the organization of meetings, forums, and conferences, as well as social events.
The NEHMDS was established in 1973 by a group of Greek physicians working in Boston. The goal of our society is to foster medical education, friendship, collaboration, communication, community awareness, and networking amongst professionals with common Hellenic ancestry and/or interests.
