1963 → Today: The Evolution of Europe’s Hospital Physicians

In 1963, at the initiative of the Confederation of Medical Unions of France, physicians from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, and Austria gathered in Paris. This meeting led to the creation of what would become the European Association of Hospital Physicians.

In the years that followed, the association expanded, welcoming Denmark, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Romania.

In 2013, the AEMH marked its 50th anniversary, returning to its birthplace — Paris.

The Academy is focused on the achievement of the physicians’ continuous development and competency in the field of Clinical Leadership as clinical doctors are, naturally, at the core of clinical leadership activities.

A representative of the Academic Staff may be a professor, associate professor or any other distinguished representative of the disciplines in which the Academy carries out its activities, or representatives of other significant scientific, research and other institutions and practitioners. The members of the EACL Board are as follows: two members of AEMH, two members of UEMS, one academic (university) expert, two external experts and two representatives of EMOs.
The EACL Board performs the examinations and grants the certifications to the clinical leaders. It equally provides the curriculum and organises the training activities for young doctors. Function of the training needs, it may punctually appoint external trainers to deliver parts of the curriculum.
