Our association
Medicine is our calling.
Community is our strength.
We are the Iraqi Medical Sciences Association USA. A network of medical professionals connected by our heritage, our work, and a belief in what we can do together.
What brings us together
Our roots connect us.
Our work carries us forward.
A medical career can take you far from where you started. IMSA is a place to keep that connection alive, and to build new ones with people who understand your journey.
As a nonprofit association, we support Iraqi medical professionals through education, professional development, mentorship, and community service. Our annual convention brings those connections to life through a scientific program, cultural celebrations, and time together.
Our commitment reaches beyond our professional lives. We seek to serve our communities in the United States and maintain a meaningful connection to Iraq, sharing knowledge and supporting those who follow in our footsteps.
Learn from one another.
Bring your knowledge. Stay curious. Make space for new ideas across specialties and generations.
Open the next door.
Turn your experience into an opportunity for someone else through mentorship and support.
Keep the connection.
Celebrate our Iraqi heritage and the communities we are building across the United States and beyond.
Led by our community
People who care.
A purpose we share.

It is your participation that makes this community what it is. Join us as we look ahead to another meaningful gathering.
