About UEMS

The European Union of Medical Specialists (Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes – UEMS) is a
non-governmental organisation representing national associations of medical specialists in the European Union and in associated countries.

The UEMS represents National Assocations of Medical Specialists and operate at the European level to defend and promote the interests of Medical Specialists. It is made up of 37 National Member Associations which altogether compose the UEMS Council, which is the organisation’s General Assembly.

In 1962, the UEMS created Specialist Sections to promote and defend the interest of the different Specialties at the European level. Currently, 42 Specialist Sections, 10 Multidisciplinary Joint Committees and over 20 Divisions are active in this regard.
