Albanian American Medical Society

The Albanian American Medical Society (AAMS), based in Burlington, MA, is a professional non-profit organization dedicated to advancing medical education and healthcare excellence within the Albanian medical community. Since its establishment in 2008, AAMS has served as a vital bridge connecting healthcare professionals of Albanian descent across the United States and the Balkan Peninsula. The organization delivers comprehensive educational programs including advanced training seminars, continuing medical education opportunities, and professional development initiatives for healthcare providers in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Montenegro. AAMS facilitates meaningful knowledge exchange between U.S. academic institutions and medical professionals in Albanian-populated territories, enabling practitioners to stay current with the latest healthcare developments and best practices. The society operates an educational exchange program that brings Albanian healthcare professionals to the United States for specialized training and observerships within the U.S. healthcare system. Members benefit from networking opportunities conducted in their native language, access to lectures and discussions led by experienced physicians, and participation in collaborative research and publication initiatives. Beyond professional development, AAMS extends charitable healthcare services to underserved communities in both the United States and the Balkan region, providing medical consultations, health screenings, and disease prevention education. The organization regularly hosts public events and seminars tailored to address the specific healthcare needs and interests of the Albanian-American medical community, positioning itself as a leader in bridging international medical expertise and community health improvement.
