The Korean-American Medical Association (KAMA) is the main national
medical organization which represents all Korean-American physicians
in the United States.
It includes American M.D.'s and D.O.'s who are of Korean heritage from
all generations. Meetings are held in English and scholarship, cohesiveness,
and excellence are goals of KAMA’s endeavors.
KAMA’s sister organizations are the:
KAMA has frequent communication with both the AMA and KMA, among others.
The membership and leadership of KAMA is from throughout the entire country,
but we encourage more widespread and diverse representation from all
corners of the U.S.
KAMA allows a forum for discussion of medical topics and ideas. This
is through the annual meeting with scientific sessions of original work
as well as review lectures on subspecialty topics, and through the Journal
of the Korean-American Medical Association (JKAMA), published annually.
Through several meetings during the year, culminating in the Annual Meeting
with international attendance, KAMA is a base for fellowship and networking
for Korean-American physicians. KAMA also represents a collective voice
for professional, political, and community-based concerns. We offer a
mentoring program and scholarship awards for pre-medical and medical
students as well as for residents and fellows.
Korean-American physicians make up a relatively small number of the
total physicians in the United States, but through participation in a
group, individual issues and concerns may be addressed, discussed, and
solutions implemented.
