CME Seminar — Clinical Updates 2026
Accredited continuing education with guest faculty. Breakfast and credits included.
A nonprofit founded by physicians, for physicians — uniting more than 1,000 surgeons, physicians and dentists across North Texas through education, mentorship and service.
Active members across every specialty of medicine and dentistry
Days of programming — CME, networking, mentorship and service
Of America's doctors are Muslim, from 1–2% of the population
The year a handful of Dallas physicians started the Alliance
Who we are
The Alliance began with a simple observation: Muslim physicians across North Texas were doing extraordinary work in isolation from one another. There was no directory, no referral network, no shared calendar — and no structured way for the next generation to learn from the current one.
Ten years on, we are more than a thousand members strong. We run accredited CME, we place students into observerships with practising physicians, and we hold free health fairs in the communities that need them most. All of it is volunteer-led.

Galas, health fairs, CME halls and the people who show up for all of it.
What we do
Every listing is checked against the national provider registry and kept current by the physician themselves.
506Conferences and training that keep members current and credentialed, taught by faculty from across North Texas.
Students and international graduates shadow practising members.
Free screenings and health education across the Metroplex.
Practical help for the business side of practising medicine — the part nobody teaches in residency.
The network
Search 506 verified listings by specialty, the language spoken at home, and whether the practice is taking new patients. Built for patients first — and doubling as the Alliance's own referral directory.
Credentials confirmed before a listing goes live, then re-checked every 90 days.
Physicians update their own details. No stale numbers, no closed practices.
Filter by Urdu, Arabic, Bengali, Farsi — the way families actually search.

About the Alliance
A network dedicated to advancing medical professionals through collaboration, education and community service across North Texas.

Networking
Community serviceOur story
The Alliance began with a simple observation: Muslim physicians across North Texas were doing extraordinary work in isolation from one another. There was no directory, no referral network, no shared calendar.
What started as a handful of physicians meeting after clinic hours is now more than a thousand members strong — and still entirely volunteer-led.
Where it started
Where it is nowFilm
Ninety seconds from the past twelve months — the gala, the health fairs, the CME hall and the students who shadowed our members.
Committed to enhancing medicine through collective effort, educational programmes and community engagement.

Connecting professionals, promoting networking, educating future providers and engaging in service.

Why the network is different
01 — Verified against the registry
02 — Kept current by the doctor
03 — Searchable the way patients thinkEach physician's credentials, specialty and practice address are confirmed against the national provider registry before the listing goes live — then re-checked every 90 days.
Members update their own listing from their dashboard. No stale phone numbers, no closed practices, no admin chasing anyone for changes.
Filter by the language spoken at home, the city you live in, and whether the practice is taking new patients — the way families actually search.
Common questions
No. The directory is open to everyone. Membership is for physicians who want to be listed, host observerships or access member benefits.
Every physician's National Provider Identifier is matched against the federal registry, confirming their name, credentials, specialty and practice address. Nobody can list themselves without a valid record.
Physicians can edit their listing at any time from their dashboard, and we re-check credentials against the registry every 90 days automatically.
Not yet. Each listing shows the practice's contact details so you can call or use their own booking system. Direct booking is on the roadmap.
Enter your NPI number on the join page. Most of your profile fills itself in, you add your languages and availability, and your listing goes live once membership is confirmed.
We verify credentials, not clinical outcomes. Listings confirm that a physician is licensed and practising — choosing a doctor remains your decision.
Add your practice to the network. Enter your registry number and most of the form fills itself — it takes about a minute.
Join the Alliance
Enter your provider number and we fill in the rest from the national registry — name, credentials, specialty and practice address. No forms to retype, and your listing is verified from day one.
Step one
Four fields filled automatically. You add two. That's the whole form.
Why it matters
Nobody can list themselves as a physician without a matching record in the national registry.
One provider number, one listing. The directory stays clean as it grows.
Credential checks happen automatically instead of landing in someone's inbox.
How it works
Your professional details fill themselves in.
Free, Basic or Premium — whichever fits your practice.
Languages, availability, a short bio and a photo.
Your listing publishes and your dashboard unlocks.

Career Board
Practices, hospitals and clinics across North Texas post here first — because they want to reach this network specifically.
Established seven-physician group in Plano seeking a fellowship-trained interventionalist. Cath lab access, no unassigned call, partnership eligibility at 24 months.
Open positions
For employers
Your listing goes to physicians, dentists and advanced practice clinicians already established in North Texas.
Practices serving Muslim patients can find clinicians who share the language and cultural context.
Members post free. Non-member practices pay a small listing fee that funds the Alliance's service programmes.
Common questions
No. Applying is open to anyone. Members get earlier access to new listings and can save roles to their dashboard.
We confirm each employer is a real practice or institution before a listing goes live, but salary, contract terms and working conditions are between you and them.
Yes. Locum, part-time, weekend and telehealth roles are all welcome and are filtered separately so candidates find them easily.
Sixty days by default. You can close it early from your dashboard once the role is filled, or renew it for another sixty.
Listings flag whether sponsorship is available. For guidance on the process itself, our international graduates advisor can point you to the right resources.
Community
Referral requests, CME notes, event photos and programme announcements — the Alliance's day-to-day conversation, members only.
Looking for a paediatric endocrinologist in the Plano or Frisco area who speaks Urdu — family is newly arrived and the parents are more comfortable in their own language. Happy to make the introduction directly.
Yesterday's health fair in Irving screened just over 300 people. Thank you to the 22 volunteers who gave up their Saturday, and to everyone who brought equipment from their own clinics.
Three new host physicians joined this week, which opens placements in dermatology and paediatric surgery for the first time. If you've been waiting on those specialties, applications are live now.
Call for faculty is open for the 2027 CME conference. If you'd like to present, send a topic and a short outline by the end of September. We're particularly short on primary care and practice management sessions.
Has anyone found a Ramadan-friendly protocol for adjusting statin and metformin timing that patients actually stick to? I've been improvising and would rather use something the group has tested.
Members only
Everyone posting has a credential-checked listing. No anonymous accounts, no outside observers.
Case discussions and referral requests are visible to members only and never indexed by search engines.
Committee leads moderate their own groups, so problems are handled by people who know the context.
News & Newsletter
Announcements, event recaps, CME openings and community news — published here and sent to members once a month.
More than 140 physicians, dentists and residents joined the July mixer in Plano — the largest turnout since the Alliance began holding monthly gatherings.
Eight new host physicians joined this quarter, opening placements in psychiatry, dermatology and paediatric surgery for the first time.
Volunteers ran blood pressure, glucose and BMI screenings alongside health education in Urdu, Arabic and Spanish.
Premium members in good standing may stand for election. Candidate statements are due by 31 October.
