The Japanese Association of Medical Sciences (Japanese: 日本医学会, Hepburn: Nihon Igakkai) is a suborganization of the Japan Medical Association (日本医師会) devoted to the development and promotion of science and research in medicine.[1] The Japanese Association of Medical Sciences was founded independently of the Japan Medical Association in 1902 as a collaboration between 16 medical societies in Japan.[1] Since their founding, they have held a general assembly called the Japan Medical Congress every four years except in 1947 when it was postponed for a year due to the Second World War.[1] In 1948, they held their twelfth assembly at which point they merged with the Japan Medical Association, which has remained their parent organization since.[1] Rather than individuals, the Japanese Association of Medical Sciences has member societies.[1] As of 2019, they have 132 member societies.[1]
