Descriptiontext

National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) is a nonprofit membership organization founded in 1994 and headquartered in Washington, United States, that serves Hispanic/Latino physicians, medical residents, students, and allied healthcare professionals. It operates an 11–50 person staff supporting a national network of state and specialty chapters, with active chapters documented in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Chicago, and California's Central Valley, and the organization references operating "20+ chapters nationwide." Its core functional remit is advocacy for equitable healthcare access for Hispanic and Latino communities, federal and state policy engagement (congressional briefings, policy statements), continuing medical education tailored to culturally responsive care, leadership development for the next generation of Hispanic physicians, and community-facing health events.

NHMA's product portfolio centers on seven primary offerings: the peer-reviewed Journal of the National Hispanic Medical Association (JNHMA) hosted on Scholastica; the NHMA Career Center at careers.nhmamd.org, a healthcare job board serving over 220 employers; CME learning opportunities delivered through webinars and courses; annual conferences (the 2026 event themed "Medicina con Propósito"); the NHMA Membership Program with specialty councils and chapters; leadership development programs; and government affairs / policy advocacy initiatives. The technology stack is a conventional nonprofit association platform (MemberClicks for membership management, Scholastica for journal hosting, a custom career center domain), and there is no evidence of proprietary AI, ML, or data products. Distribution is community-led via chapters, conferences, CME webinars, the JNHMA journal, the NHMA Monthly Insights newsletter, and an active social media presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, Bluesky, and TikTok.

NHMA's revenue model is diversified across membership dues (annual subscription), CME programming (free for members, paid access for non-members), annual conference registration and sponsorship, and Career Center employer services including featured employer placements. Partnerships span strategic alliances with medical societies and resident/student groups (core tier) and operational partnerships with the Epilepsy Foundation, Chicago Health Executive Forum, NOWINCLUDED, the Susquehanna Area Career Academy, and local civic partners. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors under Dr. Burgos as President, with no parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed.
