Society and associations

American Associations Anatomists
The American Association of Anatomists was founded by Joseph Leidy in Washington, D.C. in 1888 for the “advancement of anatomical science.” Today, via research, education, and professional development activities, AAA serves as the professional home for an international community of biomedical researchers and educators focusing on the structural foundation of health and disease.
The American Association of Clinical Anatomists
The AACA was founded to support, promote, and advance anatomically and clinically-based scholarship in research, teaching, and curricular matters within the health science professions. Its annual scientific meeting provides a vital and supportive venue for basic and clinical scientists and educators to disseminate scholarly work of an experimental or descriptive nature in any of the subdisciplines of anatomy or specialities of medicine.

Anatomical Society Structure Functions Development and evolution
The Anatomical Society (AS), founded in 1887, is a learned society with charitable status. Its aims are to promote, develop and advance research and education in all aspects of anatomical science. AS achieves these aims by organising scientific meetings; publishing the Journal of Anatomy and Aging Cell; making annual awards of PhD studentships, grants and prizes.
Anatomy Society
The Anatomy Society is open to all students with a fascination for the human body. We strive to offer high quality events and workshops, all in the name of enhancing the extra-curricular life on campus and to supplement the nationally-recognised Anatomy education we receive at King's. During the past academic year (2012-13), we delivered events well attended by both medical and biomedical students of King's and other London universities, plus junior doctors and academic staff.
