Building a National Professional Infrastructure for Jewish Healthcare Professionals
AJMA works with healthcare institutions, professional associations, policymakers, and community partners to advance professionalism, strengthen accountability, and support Jewish healthcare professionals across North America.
Why This Work Matters
For generations, Jewish healthcare professionals have contributed to every corner of medicine. Yet until recently, there was no national organization dedicated to supporting them across institutions, disciplines, and career stages.
The events following October 7 highlighted challenges that required more than individual responses—they required national infrastructure, professional relationships, and sustained institutional engagement.
Antisemitism In Healthcare
Bias within healthcare affects more than individual professionals. It can undermine workplace culture, compromise patient trust, and weaken the integrity of healthcare institutions.
AJMA works to strengthen reporting pathways, institutional relationships, professional standards, and collaborative solutions that help healthcare organizations respond thoughtfully and effectively.

What AJMA Does
How AJMA Works
AJMA’s approach is constructive and relationship-based.
The goal is not confrontation, but accountability through partnership, education, and sustained engagement with healthcare institutions.
Where specialized expertise is required, AJMA works with trusted partners such as the ADL and the Louis D. Brandeis Center.
This ensures that members receive appropriate support, while maintaining AJMA’s focus on institutional engagement.
Building Better Healthcare Together
Meaningful institutional change happens through partnership, professionalism, and sustained engagement.
Whether you're a healthcare leader, educator, policymaker, partner organization, or healthcare professional, we invite you to help strengthen the future of healthcare.
