About AJMA
The purpose of AJMA is to build a community that is a rich network locally, nationally, and globally among Jewish healthcare workers, so that they can grow into proud professionals, backed with resources when navigating antisemitism, develop strong relationships with mentors, and build the next generation of Jewish leaders in this space.
AJMA mentors and empowers its members while working to address problems and antisemitism affecting the Jewish world in the medical field.
AJMA is the only nationwide organization that serves as a network for all Jewish healthcare professionals, across any medical background and denomination.
Our Work
AJMA’s ambition is to build an institution that serves Jewish healthcare professionals at every stage of their careers and across every discipline, gives Jewish patients somewhere to turn when they encounter bias, and becomes the authoritative national voice of this community in medicine.
1. Professional Community
Strong professional communities do not emerge accidentally — they require structure, leadership, and sustained investment. AJMA is building the national infrastructure needed to connect Jewish healthcare professionals across specialties, institutions, regions, and career stages.
Through a growing network of chapters, professional programming, mentorship initiatives, and collaborative partnerships, AJMA is strengthening professional belonging, leadership development, and coordinated engagement across healthcare. Our goal is to build a durable, credible, and future-oriented community capable of supporting healthcare professionals for generations to come.

2. Antisemitism in Healthcare
Healthcare professionals should never have to choose between their identity and their profession. Yet across hospitals, medical schools, residency programs, and professional organizations, Jewish healthcare workers are increasingly facing harassment, exclusion, intimidation, and professional isolation.
AJMA is building the national infrastructure needed to address antisemitism in healthcare through advocacy, institutional engagement, professional support, and accountability. We work with healthcare leaders, policymakers, educators, and partner organizations to strengthen reporting pathways, improve institutional response, and advance professional standards that protect both providers and patients.
Our approach is rooted in a simple principle: healthcare environments must remain safe, professional, patient-centered, and free from ideological hostility.
3. Medical Education
Today’s healthcare professionals are entering increasingly complex educational and institutional environments. AJMA is working to ensure that medical and healthcare training remains grounded in professionalism, open inquiry, ethical leadership, and patient-centered care.
Through curriculum development, institutional partnerships, educational programming, and professional guidance, we help build training environments that support constructive dialogue, critical thinking, and respectful engagement across difference. Our work prepares healthcare professionals not only to practice medicine, but to lead within the institutions and communities they serve.
4. Research & Thought Leadership
Strong institutions require credible data, informed leadership, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to complex challenges. AJMA is advancing research and thought leadership that helps healthcare systems, policymakers, educators, and professional organizations better understand the evolving realities facing healthcare professionals and patients today.
Through institutional partnerships, surveys, reporting initiatives, educational collaborations, and expert engagement, AJMA is helping build a more evidence-based understanding of antisemitism, professional culture, workforce dynamics, and patient trust within healthcare. Our goal is not only to document problems, but to help develop practical, scalable solutions that strengthen the healthcare system as a whole.
