Committee
Board of the Danish Medical Society
The Danish Medical Society is an umbrella organisation for a large number of Danish societies within the medical sciences, the purpose of which is to promote Danish medical science and to disseminate the interests of its member societies in terms of internal and external tasks. The society also organises meetings on medical science topics by providing funding for international guest speakers and supports the publication of Danish doctoral dissertations, as well as ensuring that the education of Danish doctors at pregraduate and postgraduate levels meets global knowledge standards and that this is reflected in the work performed by medical practitioners within the Danish health care sector. Finally, the board of the Society is also the prize committee for the August Krogh Prize.
