چکیده
Member Societies can be a society, a group of societies, or an appropriate body, representing the health and biomedical informatics activities within a country. Generally, only one member society may be admitted from a country. For example , the American Medical Informatics Association is the member society representing the United States, and KOSMI is the member society representing Korea in the IMIA. As of August 2013, there were 59 member societies. In a country where no representative society exists, IMIA accommodates involvement through corresponding membership, especially within developing countries. As of May 2013, there were 31 corresponding members. IMIA member societies may organize into regional groups. The IMIA now has regions that cover the whole of the globe: Latin America and the Caribbean (IMIA-LAC), Europe (EFMI), Asia/Pacific (APAMI), Africa (HELINA), North America (IMIA North America), and the Middle East (MEAHI). The KOSMI is a member of the APAMI. Institutional Members belong to one of two categories, corporate or academic. Corporate institutional members include vendor, consulting, and technology firms as well as national professional organizations. The IMIA provides a unique environment to nurture networking opportunities—at an international level—for health information technology providers, consultants, and publishers. As of August 2013, there were 6 corporate institutional members. For example, IBM, Health On the Net (HON), and Siemens Medical Solutions are corporate member of the IMIA. Academic institutional members include universities, colleges, research foundations, and other
