About Us
Egyptian American Medical Association
The Egyptian American Medical Association (EAMA) was founded with the mission of creating a society where doctors and healthcare professionals of Egyptian descent can gather together, strengthen relations, increase medical knowledge, and give back to Egypt and the Egyptian community.
EAMA was conceptualized by Tarek Alshafie, M.D. after speaking with other Egyptian-American physicians about their journey and struggles in the beginning of their careers in the United States.

Voices of Our Community
“When I first decided to apply for the match, I felt I was not quite familiar with the process and was looking forward to any kind of support and guidance possible. EAMA is an exceptional organization that particularly believes in this matter. They were there to guide me all the way. They supported me academically by assigning me an advisor, Dr Ahmed Hamdy Hussein, who guided me throughout the match season — helping me review my personal statement, advising me on which programs to apply to, preparing me for interviews, and helping me build my Rank Order List. Moreover, EAMA supported me financially through a non-interest loan. Getting into residency is very competitive and hectic, but if you put the effort and follow the advice of the physicians who made it, you will get the residency you deserve.”
