The Société Française d’Histoire de la Médecine (French Society of History of Medicine), has been founded in 1902. Its address is : 12, rue de l'École de médecine, 75006 Paris (France).

Its purposes are :

  • to study and promote the history of medicine and sciences which are attached to it;
  • to contribute to the safeguard and the conservation of the documents and testimonies of the past medical sciences.

It meets approximately eight times a year in Paris (on saturday afternoon) and organizes moreover an annual exit in another French town or in another country.

Its journal is Histoire des Sciences Médicales, with four issues each year.

English summaries and French texts are published in Histoire des Sciences Médicales, about one year after the papers have been delivered.
