A Vision of Unity and Excellence – Welcome Address by DMMA President Dr. Rahman Mohammed, MD
In the opening ceremony, Dr. Rahman Mohammed, MD, President of DMMA, delivered a powerful welcome speech that resonated deeply with attendees. He emphasized the organization’s rapid growth, mission-driven work, and commitment to elevating Muslim physicians across the region.
Dr. Rahman Mohammed stated:
“Dallas Muslim Medical Alliance (DMMA) Medical Conference is more than a gathering of physicians—it is a celebration of a thriving professional community that is growing stronger, more united, and more impactful every single year.
DMMA began with a simple vision: to bring Muslim physicians from all backgrounds together under one platform—a platform where we could uplift each other, advance medical excellence, and serve our communities. Today, with over 1,000 Muslim physicians across the DFW metroplex, we stand as one of the fastest-growing physician organizations in North Texas.
Our mission is built on three pillars: Educate, Engage, and Empower.
We Educate through CME initiatives, professional development programs, and conferences like this one.
We Engage through monthly physician meetups, community outreach, interfaith partnerships, and mentorship initiatives.
We Empower by creating pathways for leadership, advocacy, research, and entrepreneurship—ensuring Muslim physicians have a strong, visible presence in every healthcare institution across DFW.
This year, DMMA organized a major gala event, expanded charitable health programs, and supported nonprofit organizations. We are also advancing into research collaborations and opening doors for aspiring medical students.”
