UEMS , the European Union of Medical Specialists, represents more than 50 medical disciplines and sets standards for high quality healthcare practice that are transmitted to the Authorities and Institutions of the EU. Learn more on UEMS official website.
UEMS Division of Angiology/Vascular Medicine
In 2000 the problem of Angiology/Vascular Medicine was raised for the first time by VAS and the creation of an Angiology /Vascular Medicine Division was proposed within the UEMS. VAS obtained the UEMS Division of Angiology/Vascular Medicine approved by the UEMS Council, a fundamental development in the recognition of this specialty in Europe and in individual countries (1st Board Meeting, 2008, Bruxelles).
Countries Represented
Following the UEMS rules, National Medical Associations can nominate a Representative (and a Deputy), linked to the area of expertise of the Session/Division.
17 Countries and VAS are represented today inside of the Division.
