The Finnish Medical Association
The Finnish Medical Association (FMA) is a professional organisation whose membership consists of nearly all medical doctors practising in Finland. Our values include the advancement of medical expertise, humanity, ethics, and collegiality.
Uniting the medical profession
The FMA was established in 1910. Our mission is to work for the advancement of medical expertise, humanity, ethics and collegiality. We bring our members together in support of these values and safeguard their common professional, social and economic interests. FMA policies are decided by elected representative members, who are supported by a professional staff in the office in Helsinki.
Safeguarding members’ interests
We work in numerous ways to develop health care and advance medical expertise, on the basis of the professional knowledge of our entire membership. We are active in relation to ethical issues and the safeguarding of the interests of doctors and patients, both domestically in Finland and internationally.
The FMA negotiates salaries for its members in the municipal and wellbeing services counties sector. The members of the Finnish Medical Association are entitled to a number of valuable benefits and services. Joining the Association is worthwhile.
