Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly

The National Medical Association’s Scientific Assembly is acclaimed as the nation’s foremost forum on medical science and African American health. Each year, more than 5,000 African American physicians and other health professionals from across the country convene to participate in the scholarly exchange of medical advances and to develop health policy agenda for the coming year.

Through NMA’s 25 Scientific Specialty Sections, the NMA Convention and Scientific Assembly attracts the broadest spectrum of African American physicians, academicians and scientists in the country. The scientific program opens on a Saturday with special postgraduate courses and workshops, and continues through the following Wednesday with 25 concurrent Scientific Specialty sections ranging from Aerospace and Military Medicine to Women’s Health.
