The Chinese Medical Association (CMA) is the largest national-level medical and academic organization in China. Established in 1915, as a non-profit and academic organization voluntarily formed by Chinese science and technology medical professionals, the CMA is an important social force in the development of medical science and technology and healthcare courses in China. After a hundred years of development, the CMA now has 88 specialty societies, 677,000 members and 478 professional sub-society groups. The CMA has joined 42 international or regional medical organizations, and keeps close cooperation with medical associations of every province, autonomous region, municipality and deputy-provincial level city. The CMA publishes 186 paper and electronic medical journals, and hosts nearly 200 international and national high-level medical academic conferences every year.
