Our goal is to represent and provide a voice for Jewish Physicians so that we may advocate for their needs in their medical careers. Such needs include offering channels for providers to seek halachic guidance, advocating for Shabbos accommodating residencies and providing networking opportunities. Additionally, we aim to use our network of physicians to address the public health concerns that face the Jewish communities.
