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

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

encourage you

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.

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

current HMAA member, include that member’s name as a
reference.
•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
