Mission

PAMA is guided by the belief that all human beings should be treated equally and have access to basic healthcare and human rights. 

Vision

We believe that through scientific, educational, cultural, and humanitarian, programs, we can provide a platform for Iranian medical professionals to advocate for healthcare and human rights for all.

Core Values

  • Professionalism and Respect

  • Compassion and service

  • Diversity and Inclusion

  • Unity and solidarity

The PERSIAN AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (“PAMA”) was formed to address a need for cohesive action on the part of physicians (allopathic and osteopathic), dentists and other medical scientists, of Iranian origin (as hereafter defined), residing in the north America (the “United States and Canada”).

The PAMA was also formed to maintain the identity of this group of people, to provide a forum for scientific, educational, cultural, and charitable interaction amongst its members and Iran. The term “Iranian Origin” is used throughout the Bylaws in an ethnic sense regardless of birthplace and is meant exclusively to pertain to those whose ancestry, in whole or in part derives from Iran
