The AAHM is a scholarly association dedicated to the study of the history of health, healing and disease. It is the longest continuously functioning academic society of this kind in North America. The membership of the Association includes historians, health professionals, librarians, curators and archivists as well as graduate students in history and the health sciences. Each spring the annual meeting of the AAHM offers a wealth of workshops, seminars, lectures and luncheons and includes over two days of peer-reviewed research and scholarship on the history of healing, health and disease.
