For Muslim physicians practicing across the United States.
Whether you're finishing residency in Houston, fellowship in Chicago, or established in practice in New Jersey — Itefaaq is a free platform where Muslim physicians, dentists, residents, and fellows share profiles. We don't verify anyone; we give you free tools to verify each other before you proceed.
Why this matters more for you than for most people.
Built around 80-hour weeks
Medical training doesn't leave room for a long, slow courtship. Match search needs to work around 80-hour weeks and unpredictable call schedules, not against them.
Doctors, not guesses
General matrimony platforms can't tell a real attending from someone who typed 'doctor' into a bio field. Here, everyone is a physician, dentist, resident, fellow, or medical student — and our free NPI lookup lets you confirm any doctor's credentials yourself before you proceed.
Hidden from your hospital
The person you least want stumbling across your profile is someone from your own hospital. Most platforms have no answer for this; Itefaaq's Coworker Shield does.
Career stage matters
Career stage matters as much as specialty — a PGY-1 and an attending are living very different realities, even in the same field.
How to verify before you meet
We don't verify members — you do. Look up any doctor's NPI against the federal registry with our free doctor lookup, video-call before meeting, and involve your wali or family as you wish. See the full guide →
New York & New Jersey
One of the largest concentrations of Muslim physicians in the country, across major hospital systems in both states.
Chicago
A strong base of residents and fellows across the city's major academic medical centers.
Houston & Dallas
Home to some of the largest medical centers in the US, with a growing Muslim physician community.
I'm still a resident — is it worth joining now, or should I wait until I'm an attending?
Most of our resident members join during training, not after. Career-stage filters mean you're matched with people who understand exactly what your current year of residency looks like — waiting until you're an attending just means missing those years.
What if my hospital system has multiple names across different campuses?
List all of them during onboarding — list every campus so Coworker Shield can exclude them all.
Can I filter by DO vs. MD?
Yes, this is one of the standard profile fields alongside specialty and training stage.
