Join the Healthcare Network for American Shia Muslims, a professional community that connects clinicians, trainees, administrators, public-health leaders, researchers, and health-tech professionals to collaborate on meaningful, values-aligned improvements in care and community health.

What

A member-led hub for sharing knowledge, mentorship, tools, and opportunities across clinical practice, public health, health IT/digital health, research, education, and community services.

Why

To advance clinical excellence and health equity, amplify representation, uphold ethically grounded and culturally competent care, and turn good ideas into working programs, through peer review, resource sharing, and partnerships that open doors to rotations, mentorships, jobs, scholarships, and funding.

How

• Complete a brief interest sign-up.

• Join the welcome call and select a working group (e.g., Clinical Practice & Quality, Education & Mentorship, Public Health & Community Health, Research & Evidence, Health IT & Digital Health, Policy & Advocacy).

• Join an initiative and potentially help with free clinics, health fairs, QI collaboratives, patient-education series.

Share and learn through case conferences, simulation/skill labs, and poster/demo showcases.

Membership includes access to:

• A national network of Muslim physicians, NPs/PAs, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, administrators, public-health professionals, researchers, and students.

• Collaborative service and research projects at the intersection of faith and health, with opportunities to connect to Mainstay projects, networks, and chapters.

• Events and learning: frequent roundtables, Zoom sessions, CME-bearing workshops, conferences, and in-person meetups focused on quality, safety, ethics, leadership, and community impact.

• A shared resource library (clinical pathways, culturally competent care guides, patient-education materials) and a member directory with mentoring and a job/rotation board.

• Attend and participate in the Annual ENGAGE Conference (healthcare track and poster/demo day).

Whether you’re in training or a seasoned professional, this network is your place to grow—and to help others grow with you.
