Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, the AAHMS was established in 2014 to “provide an impartial and authoritative voice for healthcare, informed by the best available evidence and expert advice.” Fellows are nominated for consideration by AAHMS based on their demonstrated distinguished professional achievement and outstanding leadership in the science of health and medicine.
