ABSTRACT
A recent law project pretended to improve the number and distribution of clinical specialists throughout the country. Several Medical Scientific Societies felt that the diagnosis and the treatment proposed for the problem were erroneous. In Chile, there is no such lack of specialists but, unfortunately, they are badly distributed and any solution should include their better geographical distribution. This was the beginning of a common action by 30 Medical Scientific Societies, which realized that they have several problems in common, deciding to create an entity to face them the Chilean Association of Medical Scientific Societies (ASOCIMED). This association was formed last August. In a few months of work it has studied its bylaws to be submitted for aproval to the Member Societies. Also it has started to study, together with the Ministry of Public Health, the needs, number and distribution of specialists in the country and important information should be gathered from this study. ASOCIMED is already representing Medical Scientific Societies in the National Corporation for Medical Certification (CONACEM), together with the National Academy of Medicine is creating a National Award of Medicine and with the Health Insurance Companies is studying a way to face high cost diseases. During its short existence, ASOCIMED has faced a diversity of different issues and it seems reasonable to believe that it will play an important role in Chilean Medicine
