In the Fall of 1967 at the annual meeting of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) in Columbus, Ohio, a few Muslim physicians — notably Dr. Mobin Akhtar and Dr. Amjad Ali — established the Muslim Medical Association as a branch of the MSA, which evolved into the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
The following year from the Muslim Medical Association, a separate entity called The Islamic Medical Association (IMA) of the US and Canada was formed and the annual convention was held in New York City. The founders consisting of a few Muslim physicians wrote the constitution, renamed it to the Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA) and Dr. Bashir Zikria (IMANA president term 1969 -1971) obtained the tax-exempt status and created the original IMANA logo. Dr. Zikria and the other founders laid IMANA’s foundation.
