The Myanmar Medical Association (Burmese: မြန်မာနိုင်ငံ ဆရာဝန် အသင်း; abbreviated MMA; formerly the Burma Medical Association) is Myanmar's only professional organisation of physicians. Founded in 1949 by Dr. Shwe Thwin, the association has approximately 17,000 members (2011). It is administered by a central executive committee and is divided into 33 different societies dedicated to a broad range of medical specialties. The MMA holds an annual conference and also provides continued medical education for its members.
