As an ‘association of associations’ bridging the world of health and biomedical informatics, IMIA membership consists primarily of Member Societies, Institutional (Academic and Corporate) and Affiliate Members, and Honorary Fellows.

Member Societies: In each country, one society or a group of societies or an appropriate body which is representative of activities within the field of medical informatics may become a Member Society. Only one Member Society may be admitted from each country, except as defined in IMIA Policies by the General Assembly of IMIA from time to time. Multiple Member Societies may be admitted from one country if, and only if, a] agreement on a single Member Society has not proved possible, and b] the arrangement is approved by a two-thirds majority of IMIA’s Member Societies. Each Member Society shall appoint one representative to IMIA. Click here for a current list of our IMIA Society Members
