Membership in AAIM is limited to physician medical directors of insurance companies (MDs or DOs), allied health professionals, underwriters, medical consultants, and affiliates who have a professional interest in Insurance Medicine.
AAIM Members
Usually serve as medical directors for insurance companies on either a full-time, part-time, or consulting basis and fill other industry roles. They provide a valued connection between medical science, clinical practice, and the insurance business. We have been active since 1889 and have had a membership of up to 600 people representing over 300 companies. The majority of members work in the United States and Canada with many members also in Europe, Asia, Australia and elsewhere around the globe.
The Annual Meeting is held in October of each year at locations in the US or Canada. It consists of 3 days of lectures and workshops presented by researchers, clinicians, and our own membership. It also includes opportunities to network with other industry professionals and clinicians. Registered non-members are also welcome to the meeting and courses listed below.
An Introduction to Insurance Medicine Course and the Basic Mortality Methodology Course are one-day courses, which are offered in conjunction with the annual meeting. The first covers the basics of being an effective medical director and the second demystifies mortality statistics. These classes, done on a small group interactive basis, help prepare you for a career in this specialty while the annual meeting keeps you up to date. There is also an Advanced Mortality Methodology Course available to members.
The AAIM Triennial Course is our intensive week-long course for both new medical directors and for those seeking a review and update of the discipline and occurs with every third annual meeting. All medical directors involved in life, disability and long-term care insurance should try to attend early in their careers and many return regularly.
Our Journal of Insurance Medicine (indexed in MEDLINE) publishes articles and abstracts on mortality, morbidity and the use of various forms of testing to evaluate risk.
