Membership
Join the professional home for Jewish healthcare professionals
For generations, Jewish healthcare professionals have been among the most significant contributors to American medicine.
Until 2023, they had no national professional home.
AJMA was founded to build what has always been missing.
A Professional Home for the Full Healthcare Community
Building a professional community is not supplementary to AJMA's mission. It is the mission.
Everything else — advocacy, education, research, and patient support — depends on having a real, functioning professional community with the scale, credibility, and organizational infrastructure to act collectively.
AJMA's membership spans the full breadth of Jewish healthcare: physicians, nurses, mental health professionals, pharmacists, allied health workers, administrators, researchers, faculty, and students across every career stage.
By bringing together professionals from across disciplines and institutions, AJMA creates opportunities for belonging, mentorship, leadership development, and long-term community building.

Community at Scale
Over 2,500 members across 45 chapters nationwide in under two and a half years — built entirely on word of mouth and genuine need.
That growth is a signal. It reflects a community that has been waiting for this organization.
The chapter network creates opportunities for local engagement while providing the national infrastructure needed to build a coordinated professional community at scale.
The Long-Term Vision
AJMA's long-term vision is to become a self-sustaining, nationally recognized, and institutionally credible organization — one that medical schools, hospitals, professional associations, and policymakers recognize as the authoritative voice of Jewish healthcare professionals in the United States.
Membership is how that vision is built.
Mentorship & Professional Development
Mentorship is a core part of AJMA’s chapter model.
By formalizing and expanding mentorship opportunities across disciplines and career stages, AJMA is helping create a stronger pipeline for future generations of Jewish healthcare professionals.
The goal is simple: students and early-career professionals entering healthcare today should have access to the mentors, networks, and institutional support that many previous generations lacked.
