The National Medical Association's Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly is considered the nation's foremost forum on medical science and African-American health. Each year, African-American physicians and other health professionals from across the country convene to participate in the scholarly exchange of medical advances, discuss health policy priorities, and to share experience through networking opportunities. Through NMA's 25 Scientific Specialty Sections, the convention attracts the broadest spectrum of African-American physicians, academicians and scientists in the country.
