Enriching the New England Health Care Community
At NEMA we envision a powerful collective voice of Black physicians dedicated to achieving justice in medicine.
Upcoming at NEMA: Spaces for Healing, Joy, and Connection
At NEMA, our work goes beyond medicine—it’s about creating spaces where Black physicians can heal, lead, and thrive.
Here’s what’s ahead:
Whitecoat Trauma (Ongoing)
A healing space for Black physicians navigating the weight of burnout, bias, and systemic harm. Happening every first Tuesday of the month.
Joy in Medicine (Resuming Soon)
Because rest, joy, and community are forms of resistance too. Stay tuned as we bring back this beloved gathering.
Hoops and Healing (Coming Soon)
Wellness, movement, and connection—on and off the court. We’re building new ways to recharge, together.
These are not just events. They’re part of a movement to center Black wellness, leadership, and collective power in medicine.
