Continuing medical education with tradition

About us

The Vienna Academy for Postgraduate Medical Education and Research is a non-profit association with a tradition spanning more than 120 years, dedicated to the organisation and promotion of continuing medical education in Austria, Europe and beyond. The task and purpose of the association is the advancement of research in healthcare as well as the further training of persons working in healthcare, in particular physicians. The association carries out its activities exclusively and directly for the public benefit in accordance with its purpose and without profit orientation.

To professionally implement its tasks, the Vienna Academy for Postgraduate Medical Education and Research founded the Wiener Medizinische Akademie GmbH in the 1990s as its 100% subsidiary. This company acts as the operational service provider for the organisation of scientific congresses and the administrative support of medical professional societies – always in line with the association’s non-profit mission. 

The interplay of many years of experience, professionalism and non-profit roots makes the Vienna Academy for Postgraduate Medical Education and Research unique in Austria’s continuing education landscape.
