Founding Member – Association of Scientific Medical Societies.pdf
The Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften e.V., AWMF) affiliates 179 Scientific Societies from all specialties of medicine. AWMF advises on matters and tasks of fundamental and interdisciplinary interest in medicine, develops recommendations and resolutions and represents them at the institutions occupied with such tasks, i.e. in the area of research strategies, education, and postgraduate training. Besides the increasingly urgent task of internal cooperation between the Scientific Medical Societies AWMF intends to see that the interests of the medical sciences are accepted positively by the general public.
