The Academic Committee also supports education through mentorship, stipends, and professional development.
ILMAUSA fosters cooperation between healthcare professionals in the United States and Lebanon and promotes continuous educational exchange through its chapters and partners, including ILMA (www.intlma.org). The association also highlights members who advance medical collaboration, such as Dr. Khalil Diab, host of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, which shares valuable insights, experiences, and knowledge exchange between physicians in both countries.
ILMAUSA provides expert guidance on medical and health policies to organizations, institutions, and government authorities in the United States and Lebanon. Members like Dr. Ali Mokdad, whose leadership in the Global Burden of Disease Collaborator Network informs evidence-based research, policy, and decision-making, help strengthen these efforts. ILMAUSA also offers an advisory application form to support students pursuing medical and research opportunities.
