ABOUT HMAA

The Hungarian Medical Association of America is a voluntary organization of physicians and scientists of Hungarian heritage formed to preserve, promote, and foster Hungarian medical traditions and ideals.

The Association’s first major goal is to promote and disseminate knowledge of clinical medicine and basic medical sciences by annual scientific meetings, lectures, discussions, publications, and other means. We are dedicated to building friendship and cooperation among our members and providing a forum wherein our members can meet, exchange ideas, and participate in continuing medical education.

Our second major goal is to provide scholarships and exchange programs for advancing the medical education of qualified candidates from North America and Hungary. 

Our third major goal is to encourage and assist in the establishment of professional interactions between individual North American and Hungarian physicians and scientists as well as between North American and Hungarian medical societies, universities, and institutions.

All qualified persons who share these goals and ideals are welcome to join our Association.

Membership in the Hungarian Medical Association of America (HMAA) is open to any physicians, dentists, and scientists working exclusively in the field of medicine who are of Hungarian ancestry or who have graduated from any of the Hungarian medical schools. I invite and encourage you to join our organization.

The Hungarian Medical Association of America is small compared to the AMA, AAP, or other national specialty organizations. However, we can offer something that those organizations are unable to provide: a common heritage and culture, primarily in the tradition of Hungarian medical science and culture. Furthermore, we can offer substantial assistance to our native country by supporting fellow Hungarian students, residents, and practicing physicians. They do need our help urgently.

The HMAA Hungary Chapter is a chapter of the HMAA, including physicians, PhD students, residents, medical students living in Hungary.

To apply for membership in the HMAA Hungary Chapter, please following the steps outlined below. We welcome your applications and look forward to meeting you.

• If you do not know a current HMAA member, include two reference letters from physicians whom have known you for at least a year. Reference letters for residents should include one from the chief of training or other member of the department.
