The Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (HMD-NASEM)
Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America
The Health and Medicine Division (HMD) is a division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies). As of March 2016, the Health and Medicine Division continues the consensus studies and convening activities previously undertaken by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). The nation turns to the National Academies for independent, objective advice on issues that affect people's lives worldwide.
HMD’s aim is to help those in government and the private sector make informed health decisions by providing evidence upon which they can rely. Each year, more than 3,000 individuals volunteer their time, knowledge, and expertise to advance the nation’s health through the work of HMD.
