Current International Developments - EAPM

Foundation of the European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine

The EAPM is founded!
First General Assembly will take place during the EACLPP/ECPR Conference in Aarhus, this June!

The European Association of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and Psychosomatics (EACLPP) and the European Network of Psychosomatic Medicine (ECPR) decided to merge the two associations and create a new society together, the European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine (EAPM). The two organizations go way back in organizing the European Conference on Psychosomatic Research every second year.

Members of the EACLPP are invited to automatically become members of the EAPM.
There will be no extra membership fee!
