About FIMS

The International Federation of Sports Medicine / Fédération Internationale de Médécine du Sport (FIMS) was established in 1928, shortly after the first of the modern Olympic Games was held. FIMS is a structured and well-organised association, strongly committed to the promotion of the study and development of sports medicine throughout the world. The purpose and administration of FIMS is clearly set out in its Statutes and By-Laws. FIMS is made up of continental and national sports medicine associations, as well as multinational groups and individual members.

FIMS educational function is strongly promoted through its courses (Team Physicians Course), international congresses etc. held regularly, and the publication of scientific information related to sports medicine (Position Statements, International SportMed Journal).
