The Vietnamese American Medical Association (VAMA) was established in 1987
as a non-profit organization for physicians of Vietnamese heritage who live
and practice in the United States. From 1987 to present, the VAMA has grown
and matured rapidly. The VAMA serves as a centralized forum for Vietnamese
health care professionals, including physicians, dentists, pharmacists, and
other allied health professionals, who live and practice in the United
States. The VAMA establishes a venue for members to participate in
continuing education programs related to public and private health care
issues, diagnoses and treatments of diseases, and community outreach
programs.
