About

Our Story

The North American Medical Alumni (NAMA) of the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America (APPNA) was recognized as a component society of APPNA in 1998.

Association of Pakistani Physicians of North America (APPNA) adopted its new name, Association of Physicians of Pakistani-descent of North America (keeping the same acronym) on November 19, 2004, when the revised constitution was ratified by the general membership. This change was a reflection on the mind set of APPNA leadership to gear it towards a future North American organization that is embraced by our second generation that grew up here and graduated from North American medical schools. These young physicians were given a platform in APPNA to network under NAMA in 1997. (excerpt of APPNA QISSA II)
